I agree with your assessment of what David thinks, though not your
opinion of the person. He is 100% commercially driven, and the "book"
is everything in the commercial market.


That's because AM radio is a *business*. These stations aren't being
run
as a hobby, by people who "love AM radio". They are simply trying to
turn
a profit for shareholders. Just like any other business.

They don't care that a few hundred people sometimes catch their signal
hundreds of miles away, when the listener points his antenna in the right
direction, twiddles some knobs in the right direction and the conditions
are
good. That is not what they are in business for.


So.......I guess you're say that hd radio will save them? Really?


Now that PPM measurement is rolling out, nothing will save them.
