Are you trying to say or are others, that there will be "literally" no
AM radio stations? I will paint the picture so there is no
misunderstanding in what I am asking. Will there be day, and if yes -
- when in approx. years - - that I will literally turn on the switch
to my GE P-780 (Thank you Brenda Ann) and there will be just simply
nothing but static?

That could someday be the case during the day, but I doubt it. There will
always be non-profits that will stay on the air since they don't count ad
revenues. Among these will be public radio stations, religious stations,
etc., and if the band were that empty, you can bet there would be an uptake
on pirate activities.

That doesn't sound too bad, though I would miss hearing my WLW.


Clear Channel was started in a card game. It appears it will go out
equally ignominously.

The real issue is that AM, on today's receivers and in today's noisy
environment, is dying and is very old technology.

I disagree with this. For the public good, so that there is reliable
communications durning disaster events, the public has to rely on
simple proven technology. AM receivers are everywhere as portables,
table radios, and in cars. It is low cost, low tech, and everywhere.

I don't think AMBCB is going to go away anytime soon.
