Norway has public broadcasting with five channels of programming and a fair number of listeners using digital radio (DAB) already. Five channels will become 42.

Commercial broadcasting in the US is entirely different - "If something is free, YOU'RE the product being sold". Do you think broadcasters would give up ANY of the product (listeners) without a fight? Even if the current (IBOC) digital modulation is used, listeners are in the single digits right now. Would digital conversion free any spectrum for other uses? Not likely.
