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.

Music related FMs are screwed from iPods, cell phones, Satellite Radio
- AM news/talk/sports have no competition, thus news/talk/sports on
the 50kw AM stations is alive-and-well.

"Music FMs of any flavor are utterly screwed... Right now -- while
FMs
are losing the music audience to new media -- satellite radio is
offering more News/Talk/Sports programming than we can fit on AM
radio..."

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

"News/Talk/Sports Tops Radio Formats, Interep Analysis Reveals"

"The latest share numbers place the News/Talk/Sports format at the
top, pulling in an average of 17 percent of listenership among
persons
age 12-plus, based on Arbitron figures for total radio listening in
92
continuously measured metros. That share number is even higher than
levels seen last spring, when the war in Iraq began. According to
Interep, more stations than ever are programming News/Talk."

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.

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