How the FCC could improve AM nighttime
 

- Ban HD Radio after sunset. Discontinue analog AM in 2015, and then
make it all digital.

I think the only AM's that should be allowed to run IBOC should be
limited to a nite time power limit of 1000 watts or less!
No way should a 50,000 watt AM be allowed to run IBOC at night.

1000 watts goes coast to coast. You just don't notice it because
there's a thousand other 1000 watt stations on at the same time, and
you're hearing them all at once.

Never happen - radio will always stay analog, as digital radio has
stalled in Canada and the US and interest is slowing in the UK.

10 or 20 or 40 or more 1000 Watt AM/MW Radio Stations
all on the same Frequency at Night Broadcasting in IBOC
from Coast-to-Coast - OH THE DIGITAL HASH !

Add in the Upper and Lower Adjacent Channels and
Every One of their IBOC Broadcasters
NOW YOU HAVE MEGA DIGITAL HASH NOISE
UP AND DOWN THE AM/MW RADIO BAND !

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?!?!?

A 50 kw AM runs 500 watts of HD digital signal.

I really hate one format shows. I go through the cable TV music channels
and find them terribly boring, and allthough I like a minimum amount
of DJ's, a DJ is very necessary.

It would only go coast to coast in very good conditions. Conditions
vary a lot. Even 50K channels are not heard consistantly.
