As far as AM HD, what the consumers don't want is AM. No amount of
technology can fix the AM band and its old-fart image among most anyone
under about 45. This is why AM listening is declining so fast, and the
only
remaining listeners soon will be over 55, a group nearly no agency ad
account wants.

Maybe the AM band will be abandoned by 'commercial' pollution and will
remain, as FM once was, a non-commercial adjunct to a station's service.

Or maybe, like much of the world, the AM band will slowly die off... count
the AMs in South Africa or Chile or Ecuador or the Windward and Leeward
Islands or Austria and compare with 30 years ago.
