(you know who)- IN STEREO

Resurrecting a month-old thread to add nothing even remotely relevant to the
discussion is sure Bozo Sign.

Get out of the library.

Who needs a pathological liar talk show host like "you know who" in
stereo either!

WJR is carrying Air America now???

Does ANY station in the US broadcast in stereo anymore?
More specifically, any 50kw stations or at least something I can pick
up in the US midwest at night? I purchased an AM stereo campatible
tuner about three months ago and have never even seen a hint of stereo
on the AM band.

Given that WJR had broadcast in stereo for some 20 years, this is
hardly an encouraging sign for the status of AM Stereo within the
industry.

For how many of those 20 years has it been a talk station?

Back when I used to listen to it (60's through mid-70's) it had enough of a
variety of programming to make it worth using stereo, and none was
available. But who needs stereo on a talk station? It's a waste.

There's one on 1660 in the NYC area but that won't do you a bit of good;
they don't speak English!

For a comphrehensive worldwide list of AM Stereo stations, visit The
Official AM Stereo Web Site:

In the Midwest at night, try 760 WJR from Detroit and 890 WLS from
Chicago -- both 50,000-watt AM Stereo stations with nighttime coverage
that extends for hundreds of miles. (Yes, despite the ill-named
thread here, WJR continues to broadcast in full AM Stereo to this day,
as do hundreds of other stations around the world.)

p.s. If your receiver has never triggered into Stereo mode on the AM
band, are you sure it truly has AM Stereo capability? More than a few
people have been fooled by ambiguously-labeled "FM/AM Stereo"
receivers which are actually only Stereo on the FM band. Check the
receiver list on the aforementioned web site to make sure yours is
listed.

Thanks for that info.

It's the Sony ST-JX520A, which is listed as being an AM Stereo tuner
on at least one of the AM Stereo web sites.

You can get a loud 120Hz hum from WFAN 660 NYC in forced stereo.
They're modulating the difference channel with it somehow.

WWKB in Buffalo lights the stereo indicator on my Delco radio, but the
programming seems to be in mono. They're pretty directional, so it's
not likely you're gonna get them in the midwest. Only other one I
know of is WILD, a daytimer in Boston. Supposedly, all the X-band
(1610-1700) stations broadcast in stereo. My stereo radio doesn't
tune that high.

It's the Sony ST-JX520A, which is listed as being an AM Stereo tuner

It has to be the Canadian version (which specifically says "FM
Stereo/AM Stereo" on the front panel), though; the U.S. version is not
equipped with AM Stereo.

Only the Australian & Canadian models had the AM stereo. The US
version did not. This also applies to the ST-JX220A.
