We have an am stereo station here in Wichita. It's been around for about 150 years but it's still kickin' They bragged about it being am stereo when that type of broadcasting was popular. I think they still are but since the format died they don't mention it anymore. I think when they advertised about being AM stereo there was only one place in town to get a radio that would pick up the stereo broadcasts.
