The fact is that Bonneville is slowly moving KSL to FM anyway.


Let's see, how much interest that USA Today article this week on HD
Radio generated (select range of 3M and smoothness of -1):


There are two separate issues here... AM and HD.

AM is fading away. It is used by older folks, mostly, and there are only
largely successful stations in one format area: talk. Talk is now moving to
FM, and when the transition is over, there will be no mass appeal format on
AM and no younger listeners.

HD improves FM audio, adds a second program channel, and vastly improves AM
Audio. Nearly every FM can benefit. Only a few AMs can, as only a few have
decent signals.


Many AMs are ranked #1 - most of the "clears" are ranked in the top 5
on AM.
