[BC] IBOC "secrets" and my opinions.

[Steve Newman]

I agree with you 100% Dave. You can't believe how incredibly "jazzed" I was 
when I first heard about the digitizing of AM. I remember saying something 
like "that will even the playing field". In other words AM would sound like 
FM. It would be the salvation of the band. I really believe that was the 
intention. Well, knowing what I know now that will not be the case unless 
something drastically changes. I have a bad feeling in my gut but I remain 
somewhat optimistic that some other system might come along that won't 
require the entire realigning of the AM band as we know it. Then again, 
maybe that's what it will take to make it work. When I better understood how 
the system worked it became clear we had a 20 lbs of crap in a 5 lb bag deal 
going. You get the point.

Well, we'll see where it goes from here. BTW, if you want to hear (patting 
himself on the back) a good "Oldies" format (and I DON'T use the word 
anywhere in the format) check the stream of a station I'm consulting in 
Florida. www.memories1490.com . You should get the feeling of the good ole 
days. You'll hear the artists/songs that occupied space on the same chart at 
the same time. You'll also hear a music library that is about 3200 strong 
and growing. Tell me what you think. I'm happy with the way it sounds. I'm 
not done with it but getting there.
