If its obsolescence is assured, it's people like you who assured it.
You wasted valuable time giving AM a digital facelift when what it
needed was programming angioplasty.


There is no mass appeal programming other than talk that works on AM
because the quality sucks so badly for the ear of the last two generations
of Americans who came of age when FM was the dominant band. Any "solution"
that does not fix the audio problem is going to fail... and the US will go
the way of Canada, Austria, South Africa and many other nations where AM is
being reduced, phased out or eliminated. Even nations like Ecuador and Chile
and Panama have severely reduced the number of AMs over the last decade or
so, because they are irrelevant to anyone under 45 or 50.

this Newsgroup over Age 50 to 55 and beyond. ~ RHF
