Yep. We are going to try to save AM. It may not be possible, though.



What will happen to AM if it can't be saved?

Edweenie and his minions think it will just go *poof*, it's gone.

Edweenie is mistaken.

It will slowly die as the existing listeners age and ad revenues decrease.

This guy is unbelievable - what a salesman ! I wonder, if he ever
dabbled in used cars ? Hey bud, we'll see - to try and mandate that
all future AM/FM radios be able to receive/procees IBOC is absurd !
IBOC is going to save AM/FM - what a ****ing joke ! I am sure many
people, including myself, are perfectly happy with AM/FM, as it is; if
anything, new programming formats will "save" the airwaves, not some
crummy new broadcasting transmission technology !

So AM stations become cheaper to buy and thus less corporate influence.
So the problem is?????

What will the death of AM be like? Will we someday turn on our AM radios
and hear nothing but noise and static, much as the surviviors did in any one
of Roger Corman's post apocoplyse movies?

Many talk formats are moving to FM. One in Tallahassee did it this week.
Others in DC, Salt Lake City and Phoenix have or are doing it. What we will
find is a gradual change to pure niche formats (Like KIRN in LA... all
Farsi) and then, probably, its demise as the less competitive signals go
silent.

This is the death of AM Radio?

HALLELUJAH!! THERE IS THE PROMISE OF LIFE AFTER DEATH!!!

No nighttime IBOC and fewer interfering signals?

Might I somenight be able to DX the Farsi station from LA? It seems so
unlikely, but...

IN AM RADIO, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!!!!

Thank you for your prophetic vision of the death of AM radio. Thank you.

SAY AMEN, EVERYBODY!!!

Here here. If AM is as slow about dying as shortwave, people will be
enjoying it far into the future.

It has about 7 to 10 years of life as it is, since the remaining salable
demos in 35-54 will be over 55 in that time period, and there will be no
advertisers. Just paid religion, infomecials and stuff like that.
