Kool-Aid boy you're correct, the reason Am is dying is every station
has become nothing but
conservative talk repeaters....That targets mostly 50! And so we agree
better sound isn't going to save AM radio.

If you put those same formats on FM, the sales demo (25-54) ratings increase
enormously.

Example: WIBC, a 50 kw AM in Indianapolis moved 100% to FM. It was not even
top 10 25-54, and now it is top 5. Same "conservative talk" format, no
changes. Just FM with better quality.
