Looks like the IBOC pioneers just laid off FIFTY-TWO percent of their
existing workforce.


IBOC is to radio what the DTV Switchover will be to Broadcast
Television.

A complete, utter, un-mitigated, cluster-fu(ked disaster.

Trust me when I say I wish that cancer or something else in the fatal
disease quivver of infectious strains would kill off every goddammed f-
n ******* who had anything whatsoever to do with IBOC on the AM band.
IBOC has totally destroyed AM radio DX ing and all pleasure of
listening with a classic analog car or home radio.


Wait until the 10db power increase is approved by the FCC - but, few
stations will be able to afford total rebuilds, thank, God!
