It seems that putting the processor in the listener's radio would be ideal,

How many listeners would care, and how many broadcasters would lament
that they can't control what they now do ?
It might appeal to a few purists, but beyond that, I don't see it having
any practicality at all.

Some years ago (I forgot how many) I suggested using dbx noise-reduction
processing, with the encoder at the transmitter and a decoder chip in the
receivers, and the station could back of on their processing
proportionately.  Non-dbx-equipped receivers would just notice a few dB more
compression, and those appropriately chipped would achieve some improvement
in S/N.
