I'm sure they're paying a pretty penny for streaming their Internet Federal 
Radio. Adding it to their IBOC signal won't cost nearly as much and 
listeners won't have to be tied to their desktops. In 3010 when analog is 
gone and there are portable receivers available it should work well.

Question: will multiple channels be available on AM IBOC with analog? 
Without analog? If not, are the FM signals enough to cover the market?
