Default ABC pulls plug on nightime IBOC

...

I am telling you the radio broadcast industry opinion, the opinion of the
major broadcasters who invested in iBiquity, the NAB, the FCC and many
others. All of us are concerned with the approaching obsolescence of
AM...
even investors, as each AM decline will force potential write-downs of
the
asset values of the goodwill of each AM.


You do not speak for the industry. You speak for yourself. This is your
opinion Mr. Pretender.


The opinion of the need to make both AM and FM digital within the current
allocations is something stated by all the entities I mentioned. The general
feeling is that a separate AM solution would fail and AM would fail with it,
as no manufacturers would back a separate solution, while HD offered a piggy
back ride to AM into digital.

That's the FCC view in its rulings, the NAB position paper and the reason a
half-dozen major broadcasters invested in iBiquity to give it some seed
capital.

Okay. Fine. They've "stated" it. Wow.

Okay. Fine. They have a "feeling". Big deal.

A piggy back ride into oblivion is hardly going to help the situation.

They invested in iNiquity in order to make money...in order to make a
lot of money at the expense of the listening public, the idea being
that after AM fails they'll have made their money and all will be
well.
