The above link contains the following text, sent by al germond who's been 
in broadcasting for 40 years:

"Everyone who reads and participates in this Antique Radio Forum should be 
very concerned about IBOC because analog radio reception is the lifeblood 
of this great hobby. ...

Earlier this year, Chicago's WIND -- transmitting through a four tower 
directional array near Gary, Indiana in the Calumet District -- initiated 
IBOC digital broadcasting during the daytime on 560 kilocycles. So far, the 
FCC hasn't permitted IBOC at night though there is strong industry pressure 
to force the Commission to lift this ban. "


I'm hoping that both BPL and IBOC will be like the Edsel: no one will want it.
