There is practically no difference in night operation of AM in either
quantity or power of stations between 1978 and today.


Same problem with IBOC - the FCC could mandate the radios into cars,
but no one buys radios, anymore - moving the AMs would antiquate
hundreds-of-millions old analog radios, and no one would notice, or
care. Radio is dying, no mattter what is done - stocks are in the
****ter, layoffs are everywhere, and stations are being sold for
fractions of original prices. Terrestrial radio is dying, and nothing
will stop the bleeding.
