Back in the early '60s the FCC made a rule that you could not run the
same programming on your AM station as was on your FM station, most of
the time. A lot of Newstalker blowtorches are on both AM and FM signals.
(Reagan dropped the rule). We need to liberate these blowtorches for the
people and leave the hate radio on the FM, with all the other bullcrap.

KSL is the biggest offender.

Let us know when you get the funds to "liberate" a blowtorch or two.

Perhaps "liberate" was a poor choice of words on Dave's behalf, but the idea
is a sound one.

The (no) duplication rule was brought about for a sound reason: to give FM
radio a chance to flourish on it's own. Without it, FM would have died back
in the 60's without ever garnering an audience. Now, it may be a good idea
to bring it back, but for the opposite reason: to give AM a chance at a
comeback of sorts. Bringing back the rule would make big corporations like
Entercom, Disney, Clear Channel, et. al. either create programming that
listeners will listen to (and advertisers will support) or give up those AM
plants to someone that WILL. The only logical reason they are keeping them
once they move the content to FM is to freeze out competition

Disagree, the only thing that would do is kill AM off even quicker. FM
dominates every market out there now and stations stuck on AM are very
wise to simulcast on FM as well. The problem is, no one wants to buy
AM stations anymore, and the market each year continues for fall for
AM.

Hey don't get me wrong, I love AM radio and listen and dx it all the
time. But I also realize what the facts are about AM, it is a dying
breed.

Speaking of 'liberating' a "Blow-Torch" {Hard} :
How Are You Dave ;;-}} ~ RHF

KSL* is a good example of the ~transition~ of AM/MW Radio
Programming {Content} from the AM/MW Radio Band to the
FM Radio Band : Which IMHO is a necessary step for Radio
Broadcasters {Content Providers} and a Changing Demographic
of Radio Listeners {Content Consumers} and in a Decade
the ~transition~ should be well along it's way.

* Plus KCBS in SF and many more across the USA.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KCBS_%28AM%29
KCBS-AM 740kHz + KFRC-FM 106.9 MHz + KCBS.Com

-remember- Content Is King
-and- The Name of the New Kingdom is FM Radio
along with Streaming Audio Via The Internet Too !

dave,,, Dave... DAVE ! ! !
---if--- Duplication is a ?problem? then why allow AM/MW
and FM Radio Broadcasters to also be on the Internet [WWW]
and offer Streaming Audio {Listen Live} via the WWW versus
Requiring Radio Listeners {Audio Content Consumers} to
Only 'Listen' Over-the-Air -one-does-wonder....-
-oops- Now That Would Truly FREE-Up Some Bandwidth )

Duplication and Redundancy : It's About Giving Content
Consumers The 'Choice' in "The How" They Receive Their
Personal Choice in 'Content' :
-cause- All Content Leads To The Consumer
-and- They {The Consumers} are the Reason Content Exists
The Only Rule-of-Content {Freedom-of-Content} :
The Right-to-Content Shall Not Be Infringed [.]

-point-of-fact- Content "Triplication" AM/MW + FM + Internet
One Content By Any Means Available Media Distribution
Via {Through} Diverse Mediums

Perhaps Dave meant exactly what Dave said. A single narrow ideology (that
incidentally favors fat cat station owners) dominates the political
speech on the Peoples' airwaves. This tends to damage democracy and warp
the political scene. It figures that certain mouth breathers would take
offense; I'd be surprised if they didn't.
