Hi Steve.

So all my 11 analog radios are now "junk"? Will we now be "forced" to buy a
HD radio and the price of even the best analog equipment not sell as high as
they used to? Analog is soon to be dead??

No, your radios are not junk. Your analog radios will still pick up
stations. The only problem is that if you have a hi-fi radio (like a
Tivoli Model 1 or something similar), the local AM stations will sound
like junk (clipping and "hissy") and distant stations will be blotted
out by the IBOC sideband hash.

If you're listening on a pocket radio, however....you may not notice
anything.

With FM stations, the local stations' sound isn't affected, but their
IBOC sidebands will still block out first-adjacent out-of-town
signals.
