Bill,
    There are a few they have tried.  Crain is one of them. I've heard
national network spots for them on CNN, ABC, etc.

IBOC,returns to "High Definition" AM

The issue is, as stated here and other places, is that people are in 
love with the word "digital".  Digital is not necessarily better. 
Personally, I prefer to listen to AM in wideband on my old tube 
radios (All American Fives - AA5s) to most of the  junk on the 
market, digital and analog.  Most tube radios sound "whole" if 
properly maintained.  Thank goodness there are still tubes around.  I 
am sure that receiver manufacturers could mass market decent sounding 
wide-band solid state receivers, but the sad reality, they don't.
