$68 wholesale. There is a foundation.

AM radio and analog TV aren't relevant.

Tell that one to the people who own the stations. Locally,
the AM stations do quite well against the FM stations,
and there's a big reason why some industry types
are getting worried about the cutover to digital
television; not enough people are buying digital
tv's.
