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.

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.
