And, that iBiquity took advantage of the loophole in FCC Rule 73.44,
in order to jam adjacents off the dial?

They could "jam" AMs in the same market, and it would not make a difference.
AM is dead.

The leading authority on stations, valuations and facilities lists 1761 AMs
in the top 100 markets. Of these, 208 are listed as "viable" meaning they
have adequate signal day and night to compete. That means there are an
average of 2 decent AMs per market in the top 100 cities of the US... while
there are an average of 11 viable FMs per market. And that is why today's
only broadly successful formats on AM, talk and sports, are migrating in
nearly every market to FM.

The Koreans could jam the entire band and 95% of the radio listeners under
50 would never notice.
