It probably would. But, you are not getting the main issue: every 18 months,
the average age of AM listeners increases by a year. That means that in
another few years, most AM listeners will be over 55, and advertisers do not
buy over 55 listenership. The stations may be around, but they will be
losing money.


So, lobby Congress to set up a grant system so that local governments
can buy out the stations and set them up municipal information broadcasts
for homeland security and the like. Given what's on some of the stations
here, the local high school could do just as good a job programming them.
