When CW is gone, CB'ers will get the other bands too.

Actually what the FCC did was to take the 11 meter band and create the
General Radio Service Class C and Class D.
Class C was limited to only a few channels (6) limited to control and
paging. Class D was farmed out as 23 channels with only AM modulation
and a max. of 5 watts power input to the finals. This was later
modified to 40 channels and 4 watts input.
The classic CB'er came just prior to the increase to 40 channels.

I fail to see the connection between Country and Western music bands
and amateur radio. And what makes you think that Country and Western
is endangered in the first place?

Wikipedia

Directory Reference Wikipedia continuous wave
A continuous wave or continuous waveform (CW) is an electromagnetic
wave of constant amplitude and frequency; and in mathematical analysis,
of infinite duration. Continuous wave is also the name given to an
early method of radio transmission, in which a carrier wave is switched
on and off. Information is carried in the rhythm and spacing with which
the signal is sent. CW is thus is a form of on-off keying (OOK). In
radio transmission, CW waves are also known as "undamped waves", to
distinguish this method from damped wave transmission
is endangered in the first place?

Country seems to be doing fine, Western might be sparse on the ground
but that's the nature of that beast.

Thus, a continuous wave is incapable of conveying

Um, not quite:-) The very presence of the CW signal conveys SOME
information (e.q. the fact that something is out there generating it:-)

It's the turning on and off of the wave that conveys most of the USEFUL
information:-) Which makes CW communication a DIGITAL mode, by the way.

"Information - an indication of the number of possible

monotonic function of the number of choices."
