What the FCC did was require FM to have original programming, and that's
why it took off. Before that, most AM stations just simulcast on their
sister FM.

Are you making this up....or did you read the article.

No, I didn't read the article. I lived during the times. And, please pay
attention to who is quoted and who quoted whom in future posts.

The bill, as stated earlier, did NOT pass.

There was no mandate that FM be included on all radios. Please don't try to
reinvent my life story. I was there. Obviously, you were not.

Again, the bill made it in the Senate, but not the House. It never became
law.

R&R makes mistakes, the NYT makes mistakes. Obviously, someone who was not
around in the 70's confused the facts. Badly.

Well, the article is STILL online.

I don't see a correction listed.

Wouldn't you think that they would be flooded with complaints about the
article?

Wouldn't you think they would have pulled the article by now?

The Congressional Record has much more. There are no citations in several
hundred Google pages regarding this bill ever being passed in the House.

The R&R article may well be "accurate" to a point: e.g. the Senate may have
passed the bill (again, I can find no cites in the Congressional Record. Not
sure whether they post bills that are not passed), but the House of
Representatives did not, therefor the bill could never have become law.

Again, imperical evidence (the fact that AM only radios still exist in the
US marketplace) tends to put the lie to the article.

Maybe you're the one who has Alheimer's. Or maybe terminal stupidity. How
many people have told you in this thread that the bill never passed?

Into the bozo bin now, Bozo.
