The truth is that IBOC is a pathetically poor excuse for digital radio

excuse for a precious gem. And that is the real issue here.

IBOC is a temporary compromise. Eventually analog will be turned off and
HD Radio will be all digital.

Ah, yes... yet another denial of service to rural users of the media, just

just don't count (sort of like if you're over 50).

Ah Yes Indeed ) !

But Then "All Advertising Is Local" {Protecting the
Revenue Stream} and Rural {Local} AM/MW Radio
Stations will then have a 'captive' audience of rural
AM Radio Listeners who will only hear the IBOC
"Buzz" from the Urban Metros {non-locals}
