Problem was, people didn't like stereo enough to buy another radio.
And
it's not as if the radios were real expensive. They wouldn't buy four
AM
stereo standards. They wouldn't buy even one.
By the time in the early 80's when a standard, CQuam, arrose, AM was no
longer a music medium and had less than 40% of all listening.
There are still stations playing music on AM.
Keyword: still. Most AMs are talk based, and all the decently rated ones
are. A few exceptions, on analysis, make the rule; those with music in rated
markets are either ethnic (like the Farsi, Korean, Chinese and Vietnamese
language stations in the LA metro.
