Re: [IRCA] IBOC/analog reception comparisons.

Another 2¢ worth; the only time when I listen to AM radio (non-DX, that 
is) now is for about 1/2 hour of "news" in the morning while 
shaving/showering, etc.  Otherwise, it's either FM (NPR/MPR), or more 
frequently, a CD, while doing errands around town.  Also, to my 
knowledge, none of our children (ages 35 to 44)  or their families 
listen to AM at all, it's either FM, CD or, increasingly, IPOD.  Any 
time I've asked them why they don't listen to AM, the response is that 
there's nothing worth listening to.  I can't speak for them with 
certainty but I strongly suspect that none of them would bother to 
invest in an HD radio receiver for that reason.
