Best,

That guy is an obvious IBOC-shill - here's the real truth:

"Night of the Bees"

"Radio listeners across America are trying to hide from a monster, but
there is no shelter. After spending its adolescence in technical
trials during daytime hours, IBOC has now come out at night... For
example, in New York City, WOR broadcasts on 710 kilohertz. When it
turns on its IBOC equipment, the digital noise it produces can be
heard on 690, 700, 720 and 730 kilohertz with a reduced fidelity
analog audio signal remaining on 710..."

"AM HD Radio 24 x7 as of September 14, 2007"

"The HD Radio Interference, we will coin it HDRI, is characterized as
a loud obnoxious frying egg noise on top of an AM radio station's
analog signal. Here at PopularWireless HQ the kitchen is open and the
eggs are cooking big time. A favorite here has been New York's famous
WABC where many enjoy listening to Coast-to-Coast AM in the early
mornings. WABC is now plagued by HDRI making listening impossible at
times. Across the AM dial the analog receiver is sizzling away."
