CC suspending all AM HD? and Citadel ordered all AM IBOC to shut down?

[TheBigA]

Would shutting down the HD also put more power into the analog signal?

In a word, no.

Just viewed on YouTube a video of wctc am stereo, after hearing am stereo for the first time I couldn't believe how good it sounded. Why didn't am broadcasters fight to keep this? It also didn't cause any annoying interfearance like iboc does today.

I wondered what happened too, I had an AM stereo radio in an 88 Plymouth, the thing sounded great, got stereo reception for hundreds of miles at night and the sound was excellent.

In a word, no.

If you can get rid of the modulation limitation at -94% to insure there is "Never" carrier pinch-off,
then I would argue that while the actaul RF power does not go up, the perceived power difference is very noticable.

I listen to CFCO in AM Stereo in my 2001 Chrysler driving home, and it sounds damn nice (& 80 miles away), and better than the Detroit FM's 60 miles away!
