WABC 770 NYC seems to be running IBOC at night (now 4:30am EDT),
wiping out WJR 760 Detroit listening in Central Ohio, which is
a pretty hefty signal to be wiping out.

I just checked at 4:50am EDT and couldn't hear any IBOC. I'd like WBBM 780
Chicago to switch theirs on once at night to see how that would sound here. If
it's anything like it is in the daytime it'll make a mess.

The FCC has not authorized nighttime IBOC - IBOC is in a state of great
turmoil, and is not going to happend, despite what some idiots say:

There are over 1000 HD stations on the air. There are commitments for
several thousand more. It already happened.

There are FAR fewer HD/IBOC stations on the air:

And, to add from the same link:

"As much as I'd like to hear Georgetown basketball games in this
clarity next year, however, I probably won't; FCC regulations prohibit
AM HD broadcasts after dark, lest they interfere with the reception of
distant AM signals."

I rest my case !!!

FCC regulations permit HD from 6 AM or Sunrise, whichever is earlier to 6 PM
or sunset, whichever is later. There is no specific prohibition for the rest
of the night hours, because that has not been decided on yet. There is a
current LIMITATION, not a specific prohibition.

HD is not yet authorized for night operation, although 4:30 AM falls in the
experimental period, so they could be testing.
