The question is whether the proponents of HD will succeed at
destroying AM broadcasting. I don't think they will, but it's still
playing out. If they don't, then like you I suspect that AM will
survive.


Today, 50 kw powerhouse WIBC in Indianapolis, the markets news talk
station,
announce it is moving to FM in 3 months.


However, according to the news release, the AM is NOT going away, merely
changing to ESPN format.


Of course... they still own it, and putting something on it is appropriate.
But, just like KTAR in Phoenix, they substituted a 4 share format that went
to FM for a format that maybe will get a 1 share to 1.5.

- Maybe you should resort to bombing AM stations.
- Seems like that would get you the results you want,
- only more quickly.

La Bomba - Isn't that one of d'Eduardo's Programming Formats ?

Yeah - Then they could use Accelerated Depreciation
and 'write' AM/MW Radio Stations "Off" more quickly. ~ RHF
