You're making the most elementary of mistakes here. More channels does
not equal more...

Yes it does. Each station gets split into 3 or even 4 sub-channels.
For example one of my local stations has split into (1) Christian
talk/ education programs (as they've done for the last 50 years). (2)
An all-music channel. (3) Another all-music channel, but teen-
oriented. ----- Thus giving more choice to the listener, in the same
way XM Radio has more channels and more choices.

or better programming options.

Yes, on channel 1 you can hear the informercial about colloidal
silver, on channel 2 you have some ginseng supplement, on channel
three the amazing hgh and on channel four a guide to investing in
gold.


True. It might be the same old crap. But then neither does sticking
with the old Analog standard improve anything.

True, but better programming would improve a lot. And it wouldn't
require new technology. And it wouldn't destroy MW. And you should be
able to hear it from more than ten blocks away.

Better to (a) upgrade
to digital and hope for more variety/ better programming, than to (b)
Do nothing and keep the current crapfest.

No one's saying do nothing. A lot of folks are just saying "don't do
something that's only going to make the situation worse."
