AM and FM Radio,most people listen to information,news,music or some
other form of entertainment.Seems to me HD IBOC radios aren't exactly
flying off the shelves compared to the millions of AM/FM radios that are
sold in America every day.

Have you ever listened to AM (MW) HD? The voices sound MUCH better
than analog!
It's actually pleasant to listen to. But, they are only HD during the
day, so they're almost useless, except on weekends! That's why WINS
AM is on FM-HD2, so that it can be on all day and night.

But there is so little AM listening at night that it really does not matter,
business wise.

Better to cause interference in the daytime when there are lots of listeners.

Broadcasting in the public interest includes the night.

If that is true, then why is news/talk/.sport so popular at night.

FM HD doesn't have too much of an audio improvement over analog HD.
The thing with FM HD, is that you can have access to more programs.





Most of the above are ' Talk Radio",

The broadcast bands are already over-crowed with stations - who needs
more low-bitrate HD channels, that broadcast the same repetitive
programming, if one can even receive the lousy HD channels.
