As has been shown, even at FCC level, there is no significant usage of
stations adjacent to locals in each market. So there is no loss if there
is
what ammounts to unmeasurable listening.

Again the marketing viewpoint. This isn't a radio marketing news group
it is a hobby news group where people listen for other reasons than
tuning in for the programming material. That is not to say that the
programming is not the reason as I have tuned in out of market stations
to get programs not offered in my area.

When I began DXing, I not only joined NRC, NNRC, IRC, MWC, NZDXL, etc., but
I also subscribed to Broadcasting and Sponsor and such and learned about the
reason why I was hearing what I heard. Now, you say hobbyists have no
interest in the actual stations they listen too. You just gave me another
reason not to answer verification (QSL) requests.

Snip

Where did I indicate that I or others don't care about the stations we
listen too? I'm saying other people have reasons other than my own.

Some people like to DX stations, which often are the adjacent channels
to the locals. I don't DX to get QSL cards but other people do as a
hobby. I listen to out of market stations for the programming because I
am a program listener. I also tune through the AMBCB day and night to
see what distant stations I can hear. IBOC is limiting what I can hear.
I actually spend most of my listening time to out of my market stations
from the LA and San Diego areas by day and points further north and east
of me like KGO and KOH at night.

I spend the majority listening of my AMBCB listening to KOGO, KFI, KABC,
KNX and the local KVTA by day and add KGO and KOH at night. I spend a
little time with KTMS during the day, I can't get them very well at
night.

I would listen to KRLA but they put in a lousy signal even during the
day.
