That would please many for a time, but ultimately it creates
more problems than it solves. The AM band needs digital in 
some form and IBOC is the closest thing we have to something
that works. IMHO, restarting this will ultimately kill far
more stations than IBOC will kill. It's question of making
the transition to digital with the least harm.

To make it clear, I'm not an IBOC supporter, but I strongly
support DAB in the MW band, and believe that ultimately,
the band should be expanded downward.
