Mistake my ass! It's the answer to the Beaner-Blaster AM stations taking
over the AM band. AM IBOC sounds a LOT better than analog AM ever has or
will.

Regional Mexican stations are almost exclusively on FM, not AM. Hispanics, a
very young grou´p. don´'t use AM.

I for one am sick and tired of hearing "OOOMPA" music and dreaded mariachi
crap at stoplights, emanating from a beat up Ford aerostar van....

In any case, they are listedning to FM.

The Beaners wont buy HD radios. IBOC can turn a burrito-blaster back into
a good AM station and a moneymaker in the longrun.

Some of our stations, when we have added HD2 schannels, have caused every
retail outlet with HD receivers to sell out.

Hispanic consumer spendable income is just at one trillion dollars a year.



Not only is IBOC making headway, but so is DRM.....getting big and working
well in Europe.

DRM is making no headway on medium wave.

"Digital radio sounds worse than FM?"

"In the UK the transition to digital radio means... it sounds worse
than ever. At least for the audio enthusiasts. Whoops."
