IBOC is dying a slow, painful death, so why would another 50 kw station start it up? I read the Usenet group rec.radio.shortwave daily. 2 of IBOC's biggest supporters post there, and people are constantly telling them what a joke it is. Somebody went to Circuit City and couldn't find a single radio in the place that was IBOC compatible. Ibiquity is losing money hand over fist.
The FCC is about to be overhauled for shady dealings. Certainly this IBOC scam is part of it. The best thing that could happen is that it is declared illegal, as it should be, and shut down forever. If not, it is dying anyway. In 2 years or so, it will be a part of history.
