AM-HD appears to be a flop

Just in from RW. Of course, RW's snivelling little implication that HD
will somehow save AM - oh please, AM is dying, even though ratings say
otherwise for many of the larger AM stations (not directed at you,
Bob). *Of course, FM is under attack by iPods, etc, and in five years
when iPod jacks are standard in every new vehicle, what is FM going to
do. Oh I know - FM-HD to the rescue! So, HD was supposed to bring
analog into the new digital age, but I guess that will only apply to
FM. So much for any potential HD mandate (oh, I guess the crooked FCC
could mandate a technology that doesn't work). Broadcasters must be
getting tired of paying those on-going fees to iBiquity, with no ROI.
Dah!
