Wrong.

It increases the fidelity dramatically for AM broadcasts....and brings back
AM stereo in a standardize format.

Fidelity is given as one reason given when studies are done about why people
are turned off by AM radio.

Please, what "versatility, character, variety and utility" does it
"destroy".

(That is besides DX-ing, which the public does not care about, judging by
research, arbitron, and sales figures.)

AM radio still retains some of the character we are all losing in this
so-called high tech society. To allow a for-profit company like
iBiquity steal it away is a crime. For a government agency to allow
this to happen is absolutely criminal.

What good is "character" if no one is listening.


You know - After thinking about it a little more I've concluded you're
right. Thanks. I'm such-a jerk.
