Salty,

Shoo troll, find another bridge - we're celebrating the slow, but
sure, death of MW IBOC!

What is dying is AM itself. The major format is moving to FM, and listening
levels are declining faster than ever.


I haven't noticed that happening around here.

It's a lack of imagination. Every Clear Channel AM News Talker sounds
like any other, sounds like any other Citadel AM News Talker, sounds
like any other Emmis AM News Talker, sounds like every CBS News Talker
(we have 2 here KNX and KFWB fon't ask me why). There is no variety to
speak of. The only new thing on the AM is Progressive Talk and that
gets a decent audience in towns where they have a competitive signal and
don't share the time with Hockey or Women's Basketball.

AM used to sound good, before digital tuners and 4 kHz ceramic filters,
and finally IBOC. You used to be able to transmit music and make it
sound good. Now the corporations are clueless, as usual.
