There will always be some news/talk/sports on AM - WLW AM is ranked
#1. AM talk radio is very popular:

... among people over 50.

Daypart Persons 12+ (000)Persons 12+
Mon-Fri 7PM-12Mid 115,563 47

And more than 60% of that is listeners 55+. Unsalable.

I'll let you know, when all of the AMs go dark.

It's not about them going dark. It is about them becoming irrelevant due to
the age of the listeners, the move of news talk to FM, and the change of
mmost AMs to niche programming that is religious or narrow ethnic in nature.- Hide quoted text -

With all these AMs doing so well, and others, news/talk/sports will
not be moved off, if ever, until the baby-boomers die off, then it
won't matter - again, when this happens, I'll let you know.
