I read it. Thats makes a lot of sense. But the biggest battle they will have to fight now will not be public reception, it’ll be “public perception.” I think in peoples’ minds they see AM as boring and they won’t listen to it. It would take a lot of work to turn that tide.

Am radio is dead. I started listening to political talk radio as a kid in the 90s. Am talk radio was going strong until the "pandemic" when almost all of the popular regional am comentators died. Betwen that, Rush Limbaug's death and most of the political stations being turned into money loosing sports stations was probably the final nail in the coffin.

There are still AM stations out here, KYNO 940AM has been on air since I was a teenager and several news/talk radio stations.
AM broadcast is fun at night.

Up here in Central Pennsylvania (State College area and surrounding area) we had a Local talk station on the AM dial( 1390 Wrsc) for the longest time,well just recently it was bought out and it moved to 9.53 FM and renamed WRSC Newstalk ,now its lot clearer to listen to and still has the same old local feel so to speak,it seems around here that the AM stations are being moved to the FM dial for more power output and less static interference!!
