AM stereo never caught on. The buying public never much cared to buy

the
radios. AM stereo came and went.


It was, due to Leonard Kahn, 5 years too late. When original introduced,

it
would have made a difference as AM still had a majority of listening. By

the
time a system was authorized, AM had "died" as a music medium.



AM stereo didn't need Leonard Kahn to fail. The public never cared much
about it, Kahn nothwithstanding. But he did provide a convienient excuse.
If Kahn wasn't there to blame, it would have been some other damn thing.

To quote Alibi Ike:

"I coulda hit a homer, but I had a rock in my shoe."
