Default Digital Radio Comment/Question

why purchase a receiver that presently receives analog transmissions?


I'm assuming (from the fact you call it "AM BCB" and not "MW") that you're
in North America.

In which case the majority of AM BCB stations in the USA are NOT going
digital within four years. I don't think even Ibiquity, the company
pushing the digital conversion, believes it will happen anywhere near that
fast.

(many observers, myself included, believe the AM band will *never* convert
fully, or even mostly, to digital transmission)

In Canada, digital conversion within the AM band is not yet even
authorized. At the rate things are going, your problem in Canada won't be
that the majority of AM stations have gone digital - it'll be that the
majority of AM stations have moved to FM!
