Salty,

Shoo troll, find another bridge - we're celebrating the slow, but
sure, death of MW IBOC!

What is dying is AM itself. The major format is moving to FM, and
listening levels are declining faster than ever.

I haven't noticed that happening around here.

It's a lack of imagination. Every Clear Channel AM News Talker sounds
like any other,

No, they don't. Take Portland... do you honestly think KEX sounds like KPOJ,
do you?

Or KFI like KTLK?

Or KOA like WLW?

sounds like any other Citadel AM News Talker,

So how does KABC sound like KGO?

sounds
like any other Emmis AM News Talker,

Emmis has only one AM news/talk station, so "any" does not apply.

sounds like every CBS News Talker
(we have 2 here KNX and KFWB fon't ask me why).

KNX and KFWB are not news talk stations, they are all-news stations.

KFI, KRLA, KABC, KTLK are the principal news / talk stations in LA.

There is no variety to
speak of. The only new thing on the AM is Progressive Talk and that gets
a decent audience in towns where they have a competitive signal and don't
share the time with Hockey or Women's Basketball.

That means Portland, OR and, to some extent, Seattle. In places like Miami
and LA, where the format has been on 50 kw good signal stations, it has done
nothing.
