Benefits of HD to AM?

Makes the argument for moving all the low power AM's to FM on channels 5 & 6...since otherwise they get blasted out of existence by "clears" running sideband jamming stations, err, HD radio.

BTW, WYSL, 1040, Rochester NY is just running their day pattern at night. Probably got tired waiting for the FCC to do something about IBAC interference from WBZ.
