To the contrary. If there proves to be no way to make AM sound better to the
undeer.45 group, AM is over. The band may remain, with niche formats and
ethnic and religious offerings, but it wil capture maybe 4% to 5% of all
listening, and very little revenue.


First, we are talking a decade or so... while AM is nearly dead for those
under 45 or 50, there is still listening in the senior generation. Add to
that the ethnic, religious and brokered operations and there are plenty of
AMs that make some money... they just don't compete for listenership. As
long as the mail order ministries exist, AM will exist also.


Hmmm. I'd rather see the FCC re-purpose the band for a DAB multiplex,
and then reassign the local AMs to DAB.


What have you been listening to on shortwave lately?

If AM stations slowly die out, I assume the AM band would get
reassigned to some other purpose. The 1.7 megahertz wide channel
would be perfect for a single DAB multiplex carrying ~10 separate
channels.

"Sports, all-news and talk programming continue to draw large
audiences to the AM band in most big cities..."

I saw your post on RI against Savage's, Eduardo!

Itīs not against Savage.... it'against people who build unviable AM
stations
and the fact that AM is dying anyway. News talk is moving to FM, with
stations in Detroit and Indianapolis doing it just this week.

Maybe down in the flatlands. FM don't work in the mountains.


Funny, I owned FMs in Ecuador in the Sierra, and they worked just fine
except for small pockets that did not warrant boosters. Of course, you may
think the hills you live among are more significant that the Andes, where
some of my transmitters were at heights approaching 4000 meters, but that's
your problem.

There are no mountains that high around here.


Edweenie is that high. So high that he'll lie about actually owning radio stations.

Mount Wilson is
slightly below 2,000m.

From Wikipedia
San Gorgonio Mountain (or Mount San Gorgonio, or Old Greyback) is the
highest peak in Southern California. It is located in the San Bernardino
Mountains, 27 mi (42 km) east of the city of San Bernardino and 12 miles
(19 km) north-northeast of San Gorgonio Pass. It lies in the San
Gorgonio Wilderness, part of the San Bernardino National Forest. Spanish
missionaries in the area during the early 1800s named the peak after
Saint Gorgonius.

That makes no sense. Cucamonga Peak might work.

I understand 100 miles. I can get San Diego FMs all day long. Just
nothing from Mount Wilson, 23 miles away.
