'Tis true. That is the FCC's ultimate plan. That's why 
when conversion to full digital comes, analog will go.
You won't hear it when they increase digital power as
is almost sure to happen in the transition to full
digital. The "AM" band will sound like a hundred modems
trying to synch at one time, and no end to it. The sound
on a product detector will be absolutely awful. Some see
this as the final clue that it's time for a trip to
Best Buy or Circuit City.
