*** Oh sure, like that'll work !

1) You still have the same FCC to make the same screwy decisions and
have no enforcement budget and be twisted in the political winds.

2) You'll still dramatically reduce the number of stations on the new
band from what's on AM now.

3) You'll still create a windfall for manufacturers

4) You'll almost totally eliminate what's left of local service
currently on Am because those are exactly the same stations who will
fall out due to economics

5) You'll have an even greater concentration of large-owner domination

6) You'll still have nobody listening, for the same reasons they don't
for IBOC

7) The content will still be poor.

So tell me now, exactly what problems does this solve and how does it
improve on the IBOC mess ???
