I don't think they will, but it's still playing out. If they don't, then like you I suspect that AM will survive. Today, 50 kw powerhouse WIBC in Indianapolis, the markets news talk station, announce it is moving to FM in 3 months. AM will not survive. d'Eduardo, eSpecially -if- IBOC Digital Hash Trashes the AM/MW Radio Band. This Failure is not iBquity's or the AM & FM Broadcast Industry : It is clearly the FAILURE of the FCC to Plan and Manage the Transition of Analog AM & FM Radio to the IBOC Radio Standard. IBOC and Digital Radio Broadcasting "Fits" the FM Radio Band Plan. IBOC and Digital Radio Broadcasting Does NOT 'Fit' the AM/MW Radio Band Plan. =IF= AM/MW Radio Is To Go Digital and Be Successful : The AM/MW Radio Band Plan Nedds To Be Re-Ordered With Greater Channel Spacing {25 kHz} -and- Far Fewer AM/MW Radio Stations. What Is Required Is - An Expanded FM Radio Band that uses the old Analog TV Channel 5 & 6 Frequency Range 76~88 Mhz for the Majority of former AM/MW Radio Stations to Transition to using IBOC. Mandates and Requirements by the FCC for all new AM/FM Radios to be IBOC Compliant and for All New Automobiles to have IBOC Radios as OEM Standard Equipment. Plus All AM/FM Radio Stations should be Broadcasting in IBOC by a Specific Date. Forcing All AM/MW Radio Broadcastors to Buy into AM/MW Radio IBOC -or- Buy into the Transition to FM Radio IBOC. -imho- the death of the am/mw radio band has 'fcc' written on it's headstone ~ RHF . Nope - IBOc still jams on FM. |
