Eduardo's hate for AM radio is obvious - many of the larger
50kw AM stations are ranked #1, or are in the top-5, and
aren't going anywhere. There are nearly no big AMs (power is
not the issue... it's coverage) that are in the top 5 in the
sales demogaphics of 18 to 54. And, like 1A clear channel KSL
in Salt Lake city, they are moving as fast as they can to
FM... other 50 kw AMs that have done this are KIRO in Seattle
and WWL in New Orleans and WIBC in Indianapolis... some
simulcast, like KSL and WWL, others just abandon the format
on AM as they go where the salable listeners are.
While not a 1A, KSL's Phoenix sister KTAR has also moved their
News/Talk to FM.

Eduardo is poo-pooing AM radio, because he knows that IBOC has
been a disaster, and that AM contains the successful
news/talk/sports formats. Large AM stations, such as WLW, serve
many states - something FMs can't claim. Yea, the AM dial is
more than full of AM stations. The FM dial is full, and only so
many AMs can be moved/simulcast on FM.

The FMs around here are blocked by mountains. KNX and KFI "Keep
Fascists Informed" have no issues with mountains.

They also keep the conservatives and reactionaries in Ventura
informed. This is very important as we are the opinion formers,
opinion makers, and voters.

I have a QSL (verie, for the fabricator in Glendale) from KFI. They
used to be a semi-regular in here until a local decided to fire up on
the freq.

If you ever get serious about AMBCB you could get a loop antenna and
null that local out. Then maybe you could get KFI again.
