Another reason why locals ought to have a say in station sales. Public Service from a satellite service? Only the minimum required by the rules. Sad, really. >Bob loves radio as much as any of us - but in the end, it's >still a business. Yes, and losing your night coverage to IBOC interference is a huge hit. Like buying a store and having to close the doors at sunset because the traffic from the megastore next door blocks your driveway. Just what is his station worth now? How about as a defacto daytimer? The more I look at this, the worse it appears. All this baloney for an audio "improvement" that nobody asked for in the first place. What a waste.. It also seems that every time I try to discuss the problems with an IBOC proponent, it degenerates into an accusation that I want radio to fail. Who was it who said "Out of facts? Ad Hominum attacks!".
