[IRCA] More available spectrum when TV goes digital.



This following is from the article which appears at this URL:

The government wants to sell the old airwaves used by broadcasters to wireless 
companies and provide some of them for public safety communications. The sale 
could also reap billions of dollars and potentially fill a budget gap.

Does this mean there will be more spectrum available once TV goes digital?  If that 
is true, why not convert the spectrum over to digital radio broadcasting and leave AM 
and FM analog alone?  I say this because I had heard that one of the objections to 
putting digital radio on another piece of spectrum was that there was no spectrum 
available.
