Aside from that, most people don't realize that AM IBOC had much higher 
digital power from the get-go - it's about 12 dB below the analog carrier 
power, compared with 20 dB for FM IBOC.

Not to mention the fact that AM IBOC is generally considered to be an abject 
failure.  Too bad the diehards refuse to turn it off, and the FCC won't force 
them to do so.
