There's been a lot of things that were supposed to be but didn't work out that way. Radio waves are still radio waves. They will bounce off the atmosphere and come back to earth whether digital or analog. Turns out there is also interaction w/ FM problems in the upper VHF channels that have cause problems that weren't expected either.
