While the proposed changes may indeed be promising and beneficial, there's another bogeyman contributing heavily to the problem and also dating back to the 1960's.
It's the wrongheaded and failed idea that more stations provide more service or that more power provides more service. The steady rise in interference problems arose as much or more from over-saturation of stations overall, stations operating at night in particular, and the promotion of greater powers in the name of fighting interference. than from the causes cited in the article. Those factors in turn led to many failing stations being purchased by stronger ones or by the large group owners, only to become essentially "satellators". Maybe AM needs the kind of concentration the FCC is forcing onto TV broadcasters as a means of thinning the herd.
