The reference to reverb is amusing -- in the early 1970s I recall
WCKY as an easy-listening station -- with reverb!


WJIB 740 AM Stereo in Cambridge/Boston, MA -- one of the few, if not

the USA --


Definitely not the last.

KWXY AM 1340 in Cathedral City/Palm Springs is still doing Beautiful

Music, simulcast with
KWXY FM 98.5 ... with live air personalities, no less.


Interestingly, this may be among the poorest AMs of its class in terms of
coverage. The day signal covers Cat City and most of Palm Springs. By the
time you get to Palm desert, it can be noisy. At night, it gets out maybe 8
or 9 miles. Which is what you get with a high-band signal broadcasting from
a desert.

There is no Coachella Valley station that covers the entire market, day or
night.
