There's no incentive for that to happen, at least not for AM. Note the 
significant number of AMs owned by even the biggest broadcast groups 
with the deepest commitment to IBOC that still haven't converted, and 
have no plans to do so.

Cash doesn't just "change hands" in this business without some reason 
for it to do so. Show me the economic model to make your theory make 
sense, and I'll start listening, but just making a reference to "the 
corporate people," as though the entire industry were monolithically 
behind such a conversion, doesn't make any sense.
