The Am band as we know it become the playground for religious
broadcasters and radical nuts. Plus added digital noise to the Am band
will just screw things up more!

AM is already dead. In the last 2 years, the remaining News/Talk/Sports
Talk stations here have all added simulcast FM stations. It won't be long
before the AM stations go away.

Which is fine with me, it will leave more room for me to broadcast my own
stuff in my house on my Part 15 AM transmitters.

No one cares about radio any more. It is 100 year old technology, and
showing its age. Today people have cell phones with internet connectivity,
and MP3 players.

This is the last generation to listen to radio. Digital radio was a last
ditch attempt to save radio. It is funny to see so many people here
rooting for digital radio to fail. When digital radio fails, there will be
no more money invested in radio, period. Advertisers will go elsewhere.
Stations will disappear.

In 10 years AM radio will be another memory (it already is for many folks),
like TV before 50" HD screens. TV made the transition to digital, radio
has not.
