Skywave is critical to both rural and urban listeners, as well as those on high seas and offshore. Growing up in Rhode Island, first heard WABC NY not at home, but while in Nassau, Bahamas, visiting family, 1966. Bahamian kids loved the format. Not to worry, IBOC-D wrecks that with broadband noise jamming. With Wi-Fi, other innovations, and opening of new bands, the IBOC-Debacle stinks of another nineties 'public-private partnership' scam whose time never was and would be long gone, save for crony capitalists and their cynical stooges.
As with pantywaist whinings of the Cellphone lobby which begat ECPA 86, digital cellphones rendered the law obsolete, yet we're stuck with it. Same with IBOC-Dogdoot, a poorly conceived licensed scheme 'rushed to market', as nineties hucksters were fond of saying. It's long obsolete. Newer systems promise better sound with no interference.
But that won't fatten the kutsch of Ibiquity and its berserker cheeleader, qWeerChannel. Can't have that. Might prevent them from converting AM from free analog to paid subscriber controlled crud.
Cruddily,
