Lou,

You really make a good point.  I don't care if they have analog, digital, or digital single sideband (if there even is such a thing), what's the point if there's
nothing of any real value to broadcast over it.  I honestly don't see how one can call all the garbage broadcast on am radio these days entertainment.  And,
you certainly don't need to hear it in gloriously clear sound.

It's really sad that radio has come to this.

Well, we still have WKBW Buffalo that plays music.  If they would go
digital, I might consider getting a digital receiver.
