IMHO.

Never happen - radio will always stay analog

Well I hope your wrong. I'm really enjoying these extra channels.
For example, my local FM station has just added a "Remix Top40"
channel which is basically all the current hits, but in a dance
format.

Cool.

And my Christain station has added "Gospel" on HD2 and "CCM for Teens"
on HD3.

Cool.

And my Rock station has added "Classic (60s-70s)" and "Indie Rock" to
its HD2 and HD3.

Cool.

This is what digital radio is all about: Increasing the number of
choices available to listeners. How can you possibly sit there and
say this is a bad idea for FM Radio?!?!?

SFTV,

AM/MW "HD" Radio is 'by-design' Engineered to Interfer
with the two Adjacent AM/MW Radio Channels at 10 kHz.

Study the AM/MW Radio Band Plan.
{ 10kHz Channels }

Study the FM Radio Band Plan.
{ 200kHz Channels }

They are two different schemes : IBOC will work in one
and trash the other.
