*** I wasn't intending to imply that wasn't healthy for AM but rather that it was an additional reduction of the potential stations I might want to try to listen to for content as opposed to DX, which was the thrust of your initial question. But if AM were to become largely a vehicle for ethnic programming in other than English, that probably wouldn't be a good thing either. I don't see that occurring because today there's an increasing population of them on FM as well, which says that as those become more popular, they too are migrating from AM... Here, there's plenty of Spanish-language programming, which is appropriate to a large constituency. Similarly there is Korean and Chinese and some other Asian languages.
