Eureka offers every station in a city identical coverage. I'm pretty
sure IBOC was invented mostly to prevent the adoption of Eureka in the
U.S., and the resulting ability of low-power, AM, and daytime-only
stations to develop a full-fidelity, full-time signal able to compete
with the high-powered FMs.

My pet IBOC theory is that the push for it comes from the desire to
broadcast independent channels from the sidebands. Two or three programs
from the same license.

My old 80s era Sony Walkman is actually a decent AM dxer. I normally will
pick up the all usual nighttime clear channel frequencies off the internal
ferrite antenna.
