[BC] Survey says....

[Mike McCarthy]

Well, that's a selling point for FM.  That and multi-casting.  But it does 
nothing for AM's.  This is just another grand ploy to give FM's an even 
greater advantage over the AM's and the big guns to buy the little guys off 
who can afford the fight.

I have an idea.  Let the AM station owner decide if he wants stereo or two 
mono channels to add a multi-cast MONO format.  Like have Rush on one 
channel and Al Franken on the other.

THAT would make AM IBOC more appealing.  But it still doesn't alter the 
fact AM IBOC is flawed from an analog/digital spectrum standpoint.
