By the time AM Stereo was implemented, it was nearly DOA. And yet, it
took nearly 20 years for it to go away. And, though, noone has that kind
of patience, today, you can expect AM IBOC to linger long after the AM
Band is dead, dead, dead.


AMS didn't prevent anyone from listening to their favorite radio station,
and there were many of us out here that enjoyed it a great deal. DX
listening in AMS was actually quite robust.




I"m aware of that. And I was among that number. But that's not the
point...the point was, that AMS was nearly DOA, and STILL managed to
hang on for 20 years, despite listener apathy.

IBOC won't die easily.

It may die. But it won't go down without quite a fight.
