>>Did any of the three companies purchase iBiquity licenses to transmit
IBOC? These licenses are expensive and, considering the financial
problems of both of the national companies (CCU and Beasley), maybe
the iBiquity licenses became victims of the recession.<<

We may not know this until/if/when IBOC gets turned on.  The contract between a station and iBiquity is, AFAIK, a private matter and requires no prior permission from the FCC (only notification when IBOC operations commence).
