Default AM is dead thanks to iBiquity and the HD Radio Alliance!

. The very
damn radio stations that broadcast in HD offer no programming worth
listening to. HD Radio is a virtual sewer of formats owners don't want
on their terrestrial frequencies and other assorted garbage that no
one sane would listen to -- let alone spend money for new radios --
tagging or not."


In the markets where stations provide digital versions of their main analog
signal as well as multicasting in some instances, radio reaches in excess of
95% of all persons.

You may not find anything you like, but most people do.

Going back to the Pulse and Hooper and Trendex surveys of the 50's, there
has always been a percentage of folks who do not use radio... about 5% in
the last 40 years on average, and another 6% to 7% that are very light
users. So nothing, really, has changed at all.
