I got a great idea! Let's bring AM Stereo back from the dead and have the FM radio stations try the FMExtra platform.

I like it! Sounds like a (tech) plan! Not that anything that common-sensical will ever make it through the Fubar Communications Commission.

rbruce, LOVE that post. Love it.

Looks like Happy Hour is fast approaching - we note today the AM-HD pop-count is edging down towards 200 stations (67 of those fulltime, with 36 of those graveyarders, and the rest IBOC daytimers.) (See related thread on this board.) That's down from 2009's high-water mark, if that term is appropriate, of 290 AM HDs (latest tally is 202!) 8)
