Not quite correct... there have been two or three additions to the IBOC 
list in the last few years.  The most curious one is WDGY-740, a little 
2.5 kW daytimer in Wisconsin, who were noticed running IBOC about a 
month ago.  The FCC website has no indication that WDGY has notified 
them of digital operation, though.  WDGY does have a CP to increase 
power to 5 kW, so I suspect that they may have acquired a new 
transmitter, and are running IBOC more or less by accident.

Aside from these few anomalies, the numbers have shown a steady decline 
in the past five years or so.
