- either HD or move the format to FM.

The later would seam to be the better 'choice'

Long Term IBOC FM "HD" Radio would give them :
1 - Better Overall Local Market Signal Coverage
2 - Better Sound Quality and the 'option' for a
Second Audio {Data} Channel.
3 - Plus Younger Listener Demographics

you admit is at best a short term lossing game.

"Stars line up for 'Simpsons'"

"Radio ratings: Clear Channel's WLW-AM (700) was the big winner in
spring quarter Arbitron ratings, taking first place with all adults in
morning, midday, afternoon and evening ratings."

And there is no other AM for the next 13 ranked positions in the market.

It does not work that way. The proximity of the ratings of the #1 station
and the first eight or ten others in most markets is dramatic... usually no
more than a share or so difference between #1 and #10 in most markets.This
means, to the ad buyer, that there are 10 #1 stations and rates can be
negotiated agressively.

This is very true. I have, in fact, had owners ask NOT to be #1 as they
believe the maintenance costs of a #1 station are high, and everyone comes
gunning for you, too.

Sayyyy Cuzz,,,, who was that cutiepie woman? I think somebody told me
somewhere she calls herself Tallulah? I saw her busy butt on the Jay
Leno,or Kevin O'Brien tv show last Monday night,I think it was.I want to
marry her for the weekends.

There is a real simple reason and that is based on the fact that nearly all
broadcast companies are publicly held. Moving a big n/t station to FM and
abandoning the AM to a lesser format would require a write-down of the book
asset value of the property, which would affect earnings.

Bonneville, held by the LDS, can afford to do this kind of dramatic move.
Most of the rest will have to slowly move to simulcasts and gradual
adjustments in the values of assets, rather than just pulling the lug; HD
may offer some alternatives, such as niche music formats, too... it is a
hedge play... and for a big AM, not particularly expensive. As an example,
changing a 50 kw AM in LA to HD with a brand new transmitter is less than
$250,000 in a market where bigger stations typically bill $40 million to $60
million a year.
