Paul,
I did not say INSP (Inspirational). I said NSP No Silent Period,
meaning the station never signs off.

Paul,
I have no issues with any format. If someone likes the programming, fine
with me. Whatever works.
Back when I started DXing in the 60s, most stations signed off at
Midnight nightly, or at least one morning a week. Ah, the good ol' days
when the frequencies were clear. Coast to coast DX
Oh, I thought your finger slipped and you meant to include that.
And I think there should be allowed a Silent Period, ie daytimers. some
places just couldn't support a full time AM.. (Small farming community where
everyone's in bed by 10pm, lol)

Paul was probably referring to my comment. My complaint is that K-Love is
on the air everywhere with saturation on as many frequencies as they can lay
claim to. There are at least seven of them that come in well at this
location. Others could use some of those frequencies better.

Once the band is void of broadcast stations, it will make for a most
interesting amateur band.
Or turn it into low powered community broadcasting stations.

As long as what ends up on the MW band is not NSP.

Eric,
Very interesting. If the average FM station makes 6 times te money
that an AM makes, what does that say about the future of AM radio? AM/SW
stations in a lot of the world have been signing off for FM for years
now. Is the U.S. behind the times, holding on to it's thousands of AM
stations?

Russ,
I fall into that range at nearly 59, but you are right there is a
difference in broadcasting between the two countries, but still,
listeners are listeners. People under 40 probably listen to FM as much
as they do in the US. They have not adopted local radio as much in the
smaller markets,
Craig,
A good point. We have too many stations on the air in the US. Wy too
many.

Craig,
One addition. I guess the only way AM stations are going to disappear in
the US, will be when people quit listening and the ads go away. With
Ipods, satellite radio, the internet, that may come to pass in time.

The stations are disappearing because we DXers are setting
our Phasers to something stronger than stun?

Right. AM is dying. The only way to 'save it' - another stale line from the
90s Catechism - is of course to have more consolidation and of course, HD.

Don't forget about weekday commute hour(s). That is the most densly listened
