In Philadelphia and New Orleans, FM news talkers are beating KDKA and WWL
respectively, showing that n/t, on FM will do much better than on AM.

Many of these, will be around for a long, long time:

The list is just stations that are 50 kw.... not the 1-A clears. Some, like
KMIK-1580, have neither complete day nor night coverage of the market they
are in due to high dial positions and extreme directionality. Quite a few of
the Canadians on that list are silent, having moved lock stock and barrel to
FM (the CRTC has a policy to encourage nearly all AMs to go to FM and close
down).

A number of these are so directional only the fish can hear them.
