"IBOC is a solution running around in search of a problem that doesn't exist. I have yet to hear anyone say, "I don't listen to radio anymore because AM (or FM) sounds horrible," but I *have* heard people say that they abandoned radio because of lousy programming. If stations that play stale voice-tracked playlists or schlock infomercials think they can magically expand their audience shares by broadcasting such program content in IBOC, I have some prime Martian real estate for them at a very reasonable price... It's ironic that IBOC's backers are pushing it primarily for car receivers, because with the ambient vehicle noise the supposedly better audio quality wouldn't be apparent anyway."
