For every additional channel a station adds in IBOC, their main channel bitrate MUST suffer, as bandwidth is taken away from it, so it of necessity MUST cut back the bitrate. DAB in the UK suffers greatly from this. Back when they first started broadcasting, reports are that the Eureka system sounded quite good, but as more streams were added, and the bandwidth and bitrate of all stations had to be throttled back, complaints of artifacting and poor audio reproduction started coming in.
