The FCC said you HAD to accept it way back 10-15 years ago
when they decided to reuse the analog channels for digital.
They ARE simulcasting on AM and digital on (nearly) the
same channel. Any change at this point is a political
impossibility, just as it was years ago when it was decided.
Right or wrong, this is reality.
