>>Who listens to music on AM anyways?
Not too many people. There are ethnic stations with Hispanic or other types of music, some “True Oldies” stations (the owners don’t know what else to do with them), or oddities
like WJIB AM 740 in Boston (Cambridge). A 250 watt signal
(but being low on the dial, it can travel far—though it’s maybe 5 watts at night!), they have “easy as the breeze”
music, standards and oldies, and no commercials (he raises
money from listeners even though they’re a commercial station). The hippie owner says he doesn’t want ads for
“snake oil remedies” on his station, and has been heard to say on air: “Cut up your credit cards. Most of the companies are evil.” :) He has a similar station in Maine.
