I suggest doing absolutely nothing. AM is dying. Let it die. Stop living in the past. Embrace the future. Accept progress because it is inevitable. You have to realize that time does not stand still for anyone, not even Ibiquity's stockholders. |

Many larger radio companies helped finance the establishment of iBiquity based on the the AT&T / Lucent wpork and patents. The reason, over 10 years ago, was to find a way to offer digital services on band for AM and FM. Separate AM solutions had been proven not to work back with C Quam AM stereo, so the decision was reached that AM, already in decline, would only have a chance if it rode on a technology that FM would push... the problem with AM is the audio quality and analog noise, and HD fixes that quite handsomely. |
