Better Ten or a Hundred or a Thousand Individual Voices to be heard
on the AM/MW Radio -then- 500 AM/MW Radio Stations all
rebroadcasting Coast-to-Coast AM from 10 PM until 5 AM each Night.

You seem unaware of the origin of overnight broadcasting. It has
nothing to do with listening, the listener or making money.

Yeah, so that's why there is no advertising at night on AM. Thanks for
clearing that up.

When equipment was much less reliable, in the late 50's and 60's,
many failures came at sign-on, right ahead of the most profitable
time of the day for radio. It did not take much for owners and
managers to decide that if the station was not turned off, the
failures at the time they were turned back on would be far fewer, and
certainly more at random. So staitons went on "All Night" schedules.

Altholugh I know of a few cases of momentarily profitable overnight
shows, in general it is nearly impossible to generate any revenue
overnights.

Most radio station owners are intent on losing money? Now I understand.

Today, equipment is better.

Yeah, but we need IBOC don't we.

But since everyone who can is 24/7, nobody wants to be the first to
not do it. Add to that the more irregular work hours of Americans,
and you have a reason to be on at 5 AM or even 4 AM in many cities...
at that point, why sign off?

You don't make any sense so why should anyone else.

The former Art Bell show is a nice, and free, way to fill up the
overnght hours.

Art Bell works for free. What a great humanitarian.

And since nearly nobody listens to that show on skywave, the need for
many hundreds of affiliates is real.

Oh yeah baby, all those millions of nobodies.

If those stations did not have Coast to Coast, they would be
automated playing music.

And playing your IBOC infomercials but since we have Coast to Coast we
will just have to read your infomercials here.

Let's Make Late Night AM/MW Radio Interesting Again !

There is no way to pay for it. There is no ad revenue.

Hey David, got that spare $750K? It is very little money you know so I
know you will not miss it.
