The ultra conservative political talking heads were howling over the suggestion that AM radio be shut down. They would lose a large part of their listener base which are people over the age of 60.
Disappointed that neither New Jersey nor Mangos were mentioned. Back in '47, AFTER the war, these two staples were so relevant to American life that my family purchased a ranch in South Nearby, East Manitoba to till the soil and produce REAL, genuine, authentic Schmutz. You're welcome. 😮😅😅😅
This report romanticizes things somewhat. In most of the country, AM radio has turned into a right-wing cesspool operated by national corporations with little connection to the community.
AM & FM Radio needs to move to digital and give up all of these wasteful frequencies, or face eventual extinction. There’s no other way. You can’t expect listeners to stick forever in a creative medium that is barely innovating or changing
What was not mentioned is the unique ability of AM radio to be a source of information during times of emergency. 😊
Hopefully AM sticks around! Great medium especially in emergencies.

@@jaydee975 well there are plenty of us that listen to Am under 60. Like during the hurricane when most forms of communication were down

In the Philippines, AM Radio is broadcast on new channels. Not all AM Frequencies have it, but to survive, it's time to innovate.
So happy to hear from Frederick Md near where I lived many moons ago! Thanks
The only things keeping AM radio alive are religious and ultra conservative radio talk shows. Otherwise AM radio is pretty much a relic of the past.

It would take way more spectrum for each listener to stream the same station on their mobile phone
