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.

And like any other topic we disagree on I just happen to have one of
those exceptions about 5 miles away from myself, in english, playing
rock and roll music. Since this is the case for myself I could
extrapolate this to the majority of towns in this country. That would
add up to many more music station then you allow for.

I'll bet if I took the trouble to spin the dial looking for more I
could get maybe a handful buy you would come back and say I could not
hear them.
