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.

AM/MW Radio Broadcasting in the USA is a Commercial
Enterprise and as such : =IF= There Is No Revenue : Them
There Is No Reason To Broadcast [.] - The AM/MW Band Dies.

Like the sleepy FMBCB from the fifties did during the sixties?

Actually, station count on FM declined from 1950 to 1960, but started
building considerably by the early 60's.
