The fact is that Bonneville is slowly moving KSL to FM anyway. No, they are just simulcasting - AM is going to stay. AM radio used to work real well, until the Reagan FCC screwed it up. |

AM radio used to work real well, until the Reagan FCC screwed it up. The Reagan FCC did not do much of anything to AM. What did AM in was FM... anyone under 45 has grown up in the era where more listening went to FM than AM (currently 80% or more) and they are not used to AM, especially for music. That is why nearly nobody under 45 uses AM... it sounds bad, is noisy and unpleasant compared to FM, iPods, webcasts, CDs, etc. |

And owners of news and talk AMs are moving the format to FM, or starting new FMs formats to challenge stodgy old AMs like KDKA and WWL and WDBO. The whole format will eventually move to FM, where the money is. |

When news talk format are moved to FM or new "traditional" n/t formats are put on FM, the 35-54 listening is much, much higher than an AM with the same or comparable programming will get. In other words, most people under a certain age will not listen to AM no matter what is on it because the sound sucks and there is so much noise and interference. |

So why are most of the Radio Disney stations AM? .... Because AM stations are cheap and for a couple of million, they got about 40 of them. Practically nobody listens; it's still a cheap marketing tool for Disney, though. |
