** U S A. Strong rumor from allegedly reliable sources is that the FCC
will be
making an across-the-board authorization for nighttime IBOC on MW within
the
next two weeks. Better enjoy your nighttime MW listening and DXing while
you
can. More and more ``clear`` channel stations have been testing it in
the
daytime, and once they all start running it at night, large portions of
the AM
band will be devoted to noise (Glenn Hauser, July 9, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

Thanks to 'Eduardo' and all the other beancounting dip****s out there!

Yep. We are going to try to save AM. It may not be possible, though.


Here's one for you Eduardo..

Name is David Eduardo, like Billy Bob. You would not call Billy Bob just
plain "Bob" would you?

Out in Richfield, Utah, we had a single local station.

That area looks like it has about a dozen FMs giving primary service now,
including two in Richfield, several more in Price and a bunch in places like
Manti, etc.

Almost nobody listened to it, preferring instead to listen to much more
distant Salt Lake stations.

I would assume that most listen to the plethora of local FMs now.

And those Salt Lake stations most certainly did have regional
advertisements, even for local/semilocal businesses like car dealerships,
etc. Mind you, there were SOME listeners of the local station, mainly
those farmers that wanted the farm news.

And today? I would imagine that most people under their mid-40's won´t put
up with anything on AM and would prefer the local FMs over some distant AM.
