RW: What are your thoughts about whether or how AM should go digital at
night?

Mathews: I think there are problematic issues. The long and short of it is a
lot of AM stations, just like FMs, have been getting reception in areas
where they aren't really technically protected. . But, at some point . they'
re going to have to give up what they've been sort of getting for free all
this time anyway, that sort of non-protected listening area. .

[TRANLATION (in the voice of Don La Fontaine): *AM IBOC DXing IS FOR REAL!]

RW: Because AM has to go digital at night. .

Mathews: It's one of those things where everybody is saying, "It can't
happen."
And I've said this from the beginning on HD, none of this is a question of
"If," it's a question of "When."

RW: Do your listeners notice when you go digital?

Mathews: They have no concept unless they have an HD Radio.

Just as " has no concept.

"Digital radio in Canada"

http://americanbandscan.blogspot.com...in-canada.html

And, since I am in Maryland, worst-case-scenario, I can AM DX to
Canada, because digital radio has failed to gain consumer interest, as
in the US, but Canada will not put up with interference. HD/IBOC will
eventually go the way of the failed AM Stereo of the 1980s - no one
cares about terrestrial radio, because it is just a convenience, not
entertainment such as, iPods/MP3s, gaming-systems, cell phones, the
Internet, etc...
