Default HD radio won't just go away.

Or, the simple answer: there is a huge decline in the number of SW
stations,
and also in SW listeners. Domestic SW, the nicest DX, is all but
disappearing and the quality broadcasters are reducing schedules or
suspending service.


Yeah like you would know.


You are in denial on this, too? How many SW stations did Colombia have in
1967? And how many now? How many total SW hours does the VOA produce today?
1967? How many SW transmitters and what powers and hours did HCJB have in
the 60's vs. today?

Now do the same statistics for FM. Colombia had zero FMs in '67, now 80% of
the listening is to FM, of which there are now more than AMs in the country.
There is a migration from SW to Am to FM. And now to digital.
