What KSL listeners had to say about HD Radio ! 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. 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. Content matters more than delivery system. |

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. |

In mIn most markets, the Disney stations do not meet "Minimum Reporting standards" because it is so low; MRS means that the listening level is so low as to be statistically unreliable. And, in the science of statistics, that means "undetectable" and "non-existent.2 |
