Almost as few as those who find anything of interest in your posts.

That still doesn't explain why you'd want to further degrade your
analog sound quality used by probably 99 percent of your AM radio
listeners) in order to insert a digital sideband that is

1) temperamental to receive in a lot of cases

2) still doesn't solve the problem of lack of reception in high-rise
office blocks

3) practically unknown to most "normal listeners".

That's my biggest concern. The audio quality of LOCAL stations is
being degraded by their own IBOC signals. The digital may sound
fabulous...but if nobody is listening to the digital and is also being
driven away from the station by the awful sound on their analog
radio...then what does it matter?

Some areas have people but not enough to warrant a local station (not
enough advertising income). The only things these people have for
radio entertainment are the distant stations.

Or, imagine yourself being in a town with maybe one or two local
audible signals (either FM or AM). And neither is a format you
like....what do you do if you want radio? Gotta DX.

About the only formats that attract any AM audience among adults are the
variants of news & talk. This is a format that commands less than 10% of
total listening in most markets. Add to that the fact that night listening
to radio is about a quarter of the 6 AM to 7 PM levels.... and you have very
few listeners who would find anything of interest on distant AM stations.

You are nuts. There are many, many thousands who enjoy radio in the
evening.

Try and find an HD radio. The salesman just looks at you wondering

At least you have a blinking blue light to entertain you. All my
radio has is a gray on blue HD icon, about 3/32" of an inch high.
