1) Perhaps, it is because lower-ranked AMs bill more than higher-
ranked FMs?

Only in a few cases, and the differences are not significant.



2) Perhaps, it is because IBOC has especially been a failure on AM?

AM is becoming a failure. Cargo on a broken truck does not get delivered.



3) Perhaps, it is because Eduardo is jealous of the news/talk/sports
formats on AM, which FMs are now started to move to, especially with
the RIAA royalties looming?

The successful cases are mostly existing AM formats moving to FM, like WIBC,
KOMO, KIRO, KTAR, WTOP, etc. There is an abandonment of AM taking place.



4) Perhaps, it is because AMs (pre-IBOC) covered up to 30 states each
(WLW), and he is just plain jealous?

None had any measurable audience outside the local groundwave area, and the
expanded coverage is at night when radio listening declines by about 70%
anyway. Stations do not sell coverage or listenership outside their home
market, and have not since the 50's and early 60's.



5) Perhaps, it is because his Parents relentlessly beat him as a child
with his AM radio?

I started working in FM in 1959 when we could do logs 90 daysin advance
because there were no spots.

You still didn't answer my question - why, do you hate AM radio so
much?

I don't hate it... as www.americanradiohistory.com will conclusively prove.

But, like much in history, its time is coming to an end .

Absolutely. There is no other payback than preserving a bit of the history
of radio. There's tens of thousands of dollars in the purchase of
publications, scanners, the 150 gig site, and I've only just started. There
are nearly 2000 issues of Broadcasting in airtight containers in my garage
waiting to be scanned, and I am trying to get the few remaining Broadcasting
Yearbooks to complete the 1935-1980 goal of the site.

If they'd thin out the number of stations, get rid of the mask, and let
some people with fresh ideas run them, they'd have an audience.

Corporations can do lots of things well, but the arts ain't one of them.

Some nations, as diverse as Austria, South Africa, Mexico and Canada, have
eliminated or significantly reduced the number of AMs. Mexico is
implementing by region a plan to allow about 90% of all AMs to move to FM,
effectively leaving only a few rural stations for indigenous populations and
a few specialized metro area stations. Entire provinces of Canada are
without or soon will have no AM (PEI, NB, NS, for example).

Countries like Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala have seen a significant reduction
in AM facilities as FM has taken all the audience with even the talk and
news stations moving there. Those places have no masks or restrictions.

No matter how "good" AM sounds, it is still AM. It is subject to every kind
of atmospheric and man made noise, and today's receivers have crappy AM
sections. It's over.
