They don't allow HD on AM after sunset.. That should help

They will, eventually. The real issue is that nearly nobody listens to AM
at
night, anyway.


IBOC will never be approved for nighttime AM. Many people listen to
nighttime AM, because talk shows are highly rated.


No, they are not "highly rated" if at night. AM audience at night is a lower
percentage of total radio audience than in the daytime. The total radio
rating at night (7 to Midnight) is around a 7 (7% of the universe) and AM is
only a couple of percent. Talk is not a majority format.


Yes, I just read about it on the Internet - if nighttime AM was so
unsuccessful, then why are stations running broadcasting at night. You
are so full of ****, and IBOC will fail - go play with your red laced
panties.
