Re: [IRCA] Re: [NRC-AM] Clear Channel commits to digital on AM and FM

[Eric Bueneman <n0uih@xxxxxxxxx>]

That's a flat-out lie, Bill...IBOC will never equal the near CD-quality sound of FM Stereo and C-QUAM AM Stereo. IBOC also takes up too much spectrum space; 80 to 100 kHz of AM spectrum space (AM Stereo only takes up 20 kHz) and up to 800 kHz of space on FM radio (FM Stereo only takes up 200 kHz of spectrum space).

 

CC should cancel it's illegal IBOC commitment.
