Name me the viable AM stations in the top 20 US markets. "Viable" in radio
means "able to cover the entire radio metro day and night with a usable
signal."

Hell, for starters, name me the viable AM stations in Washington, DC.

Just the top 10 markets have only 32 to 35 viable AMs in total. The next ten
markets have even less... maybe between 16 and 18 (per BIA). After that, the
average market has one to two viable AMs per market.

"In-Stat: Digital Radio Set to Take Off"


Bla, bla, bla, snip snip snip.


Even your fellow IBOC shills know AM-HD is dead - From Mike Walker
avsforum today:

"rwagoner we probably won't get to know. The AM System ain't exactly
setting the world on fire because you can't use it at night, and it
causes massive adjacent channel interference. Add to that the fact
that it reduced audio quality for 100 percent of the CURRENT AM
audience, and why would we even consider this turkey? As for turning
off analog, why EXACTLY would you do that, when it's analog AM, the
oldest and most robust of mass electronic media, that EVERYONE can
receive, and that can be relied upon to be ON THE AIR, and offering
LIFE SAVING INFORMATION after a disaster? Do we really want to turn
off analog, and leave the poor, aged, and infirm who can't afford the
latest digital doo-dads, or maybe don't even know about them, with no
source of emergency information????? There is no higher calling (in
radio) than providing emergency information...to EVERYONE!"
