Re: [IRCA] 24/7 IBOC begins tonight

["Neil Kazaross" <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I strongly suspect AM IBOC will flop as most listeners could care less about 
HD on AM and certainly won't pony up for HD rx's just to hear AM. However, 
unless there's a barrage of interference complaints by stations' listeners, 
or even lawsuits or cross border issues, it will be several years before 
even some of the stations currently using IBOC cease doing so.

Get ready for a lot of hissing and to lose many frequencies.  73 KAZ
