Does anyone know of a broadcaster who's turned off their AM HD since
nighttime operation started?


I don't. Why do you think they'd be turning it off now when they just
started night time AM HD broadcasts?


Maybe cause nobody is listening? Or, possibly interference
complaints? Makes sense to me.


Yeah, I'm puzzled at your question as well. If radio stations have
just started turning on HD why would they turn it back off again?
They won't have meaningful audience statistics to base a decision on
for several months.

If radio stations have just began using HD channels how would they
know if anyone is listening. I'm not aware of a profit-oriented radio
station that would begin broadcasting on a new channel only to abaodon
it without having solid statistical evdicence to back up that
decision.

Same argument applies to interference. A radio station would have to
gather the data on signal interference before pulling a new broadcast
channel. One complaint from one dxer on rec.radio.shortwave is not
going to constitute a problem. I doubt that more than a few target-
market listeners will notice any impact of HD radio on their daily
listening activities.



Or, possibly interference
complaints? Makes sense to me - I'm puzzled that your puzzled at the question.
