AM is dead! We should stop wasting time on it and focus on FM.
I’ve heard that sentiment in various forms for years, probably going back to the late 1980s. Is it true? In some cases, yes. Is it universally true? Absolutely not!
Just take a look at the list of top stations in the big markets and you’ll likely find at least one AM in each.
Without trying to start or extend a debate, it’s all about content. Give people what they want and they will listen. Or they would if they had receivers that could pick up those AM stations clearly … but that’s another topic for another day.
My point is, while I recognize that many AM stations are living on borrowed time, many others are alive and well and serving their markets.
We are blessed to have a second home in the mountains a few hours west of Denver, on the other side of the Divide. Denver broadcast signals don’t penetrate…
