If there's only one guy at the station that really knows anything about
IBOC, how can the man on the street be expected to know anything at all
about it? And if the end user doesn't know anything at all about it, how can
it make money for the station? And if it doesn't make money for the station,
what good is it?

There's still a lot of serious controversy about IBOC. A station would
be foolish to promote it heavily until the bugs have been worked out
and they know it's going to fly. At this moment, nothing is certain
and interference could cause the FCC to shut some IBOC services down.

In my opinion, no good at all. In the opinion of those who stand to
make millions with the technology, it's God's gift to radio.

They should shut it all down, but won't, because

At today's FCC, sound engineering practice is irrelevant. Only money
talks.
