People under 50 to 55 will just not listen to the quality of AM radio.
Wouldn't have anything to do with the whole dial being full of
bloviating right wing programming, would it?
The current programming is the only thing that still works on AM. Talk on
the other side of the spectrum has failed miserably in many, many
markets...
What else do you suggest (and i can probably count the hundreds of times
it
has been tried and failed for you).
I suggest doing absolutely nothing. AM is dying. Let it die. Stop
living in the past. Embrace the future. Accept progress because it is
inevitable. You have to realize that time does not stand still for
anyone, not even Ibiquity's stockholders.
iBiquity has only about 8 or 10 shareholders... and "they are us" to some
extent. Many larger radio companies helped finance the establishment of
iBiquity based on the the AT&T / Lucent wpork and patents. The reason, over
10 years ago, was to find a way to offer digital services on band for AM and
FM. Separate AM solutions had been proven not to work back with C Quam AM
stereo, so the decision was reached that AM, already in decline, would only
have a chance if it rode on a technology that FM would push... the problem
with AM is the audio quality and analog noise, and HD fixes that quite
handsomely.
