It prolly ties in with the idea that most people don't know that AM exists.


That's not our experience in New York. On 9/11 WINS had an AQH of more
than 900,000. I can't help it if they're too dumb to figure out how to
change bands on their radios. WCBS had an AQH of more than 300,000.
Both are awesome figures.

Might that be market-dependant?

NYC has no shortage of AM stations with adequate technical facilities to
provide good signals throughout the market. That can be very different
in other markets. For example, here in Nashville there are only two AMs
(WSM & WLAC) that have reliable coverage throughout the market at night
- and even WLAC can be flaky in places.

(it may not be a coincidence WLAC's news-talk and all-sports competitors
are both 100kw FM stations)
