Heck, every AM gets occasional interference; I recall numerous times

That's one of the reasons AM has so little appeal to the generations
that
grew up on FM... interference, noise, static, lousy audio quality.

Most people have no idea what "audio quality" means.

They can certainly tell the difference between AM and FM. That is why
nearly
nobody under 50 or 55 listens to AM.

Eduardo - I live in Butler county, PA. WBZ has a very huge and
impressive signal here due to their very efficient antenna and ground
system in Boston. The adjacent noise created by their hd signal is
clearly and consistantly heard under KDKA amost every night. So, tell
me again why this is not a problem. It clealy is a problem to me.

KDKA is nearly dead, with an FM news talker beating it in the sales demos.
You are probably one of the few who cares.

And, if you are in the northern part of your county, you probably have the
first vestiges of skywave cancellation, which is more of a problem than WBZ
anyway.

WBZ has no more nor no less efficiency than any station with a 1/2 wave
tower system What is different is that BZ is directional, with nearly no
power to the east and a lot of it to the west.

Eduardo - It wouldn't matter where I lived to you. If I lived on top
of the KDKA tower and WBZ still interfered you'd have an explanation
for that. One more question though - How do you live with yourself?

Another thing Eduardo - WBZ went full time hd when it was authorized
back in November and since then they've started filling more and more
air-time hours with useless info-mertials and other pre-recorded junk.
Boston is a big radio town with lots of hd radio listeners (I
thought). What's going on here? Hd was going to save the U.S. radio
world.

Now you'll tell me that info-mertial listenership has gone up 150%
since November and it's an up-and-coming format like Hindi radio or
Hispanic evangelical junk.
