| AM All-Digital: Ready to Go A new ebook from Radio World
The Federal Communications Commission has given the green light for U.S. AM radio stations to turn on all-digital HD Radio. What's next? Radio World's newest free ebook explores that question. We interviewed almost a dozen industry experts and decision makers who gave us their frank assessments. They include Neal Ardman, who just flipped the switch at WMGG in Florida this month; Brian Walsh of WIOE in Indiana, who conducted a four-month on-air trial in 2020; and Dave Kolesar and Mike Raide, who return to give us their latest insights after several years of exploring all-digital at WWFD in Maryland. HD Radio parent company Xperi also provides an overview including an assessment of the critical receiver landscape. And you will read insights from David Layer of NAB, Gary Cavell of Cavell Mertz, Jeff Welton of Nautel, Ben Downs of Bryan Broadcasting, Gregory Smith of Sunnylands Broadcasting, Cris Alexander of Crawford Broadcasting and Bud Walters of the Cromwell Group. Each comments about their expectations and the issues they're keeping an eye on. Until now the possibility of all-digital operation has been largely theoretical. Now the choice is available to AM broadcasters around the country. What's next?
