Hi Patrick -
WNEW was enchanting on R-390. Audio tapped at diode feeds '60 Ampex studio pre-amp and couple Knights. Friends assumed FM if not CD. Same today with some Cubans, friends think it's CD, not R. Progreso. Isn't it shameful, listening to 'out of countour' stations? Such forbidden pleasure! La Cosa IBOC will fix that. Bless them.
As you say, about money but prior to loving, caring 90's it was held in perspective.
Analog's failing? It's clean. HD Jams. Jam competitors into ruin. Straight broadcasters realize it and are speaking out. What will monopolists do once they've wrecked AM? Pronoounce it dead? Sell spectrum to a taxi service? Not unprecedented.
Honest guys with good products first sell the public. They don't hide from them while coercing distributors. Inevitably greed supersedes good judgement. They take Greedy-gut's fatal overstep and tumble into history's cloaca. As you say, HD can be shut off anytime. Saves on license fees. Greedhogs think of all the angles miss what citizens clearly see.
