Although I seriously doubt they would gig you for it, the Wxxx-AM COLicense
would NOT be legal. The Wxxx-FM could be if the license specified Wxxx-FM.
There are no Licenses that are -AM."

I guess that then brings to some level of curiosity the appropriate syntax
for AM-IBOC stations?  Would "WXXX-HD Anytown" be appropriate (I know that's
the way it typically shows up on the display)?  "WXXX Anytown AM-HD" or
something like that?  Would this be another case of "if you're picking this
up on an HD Receiver that's digital-identification enough?"

I'm guessing the latter.
