oh yes, sure sure GOP, its about the public service announcements on AM radio that they're worried about. - Jovian May 17, 11:00 1
- One station I listen to is leftwing progressive AM820 WCPT. It's programming I don't find on FM. -- nm - zunk takes things literally May 17, 11:18
I'm not sure I've ever listened to AM radio in my life -- nm - MDH May 17, 10:57 18
- It's pretty much the only radio I listen to but it's just news and sports. -- nm - Krusty May 17, 11:55
- Growing up, the car radio was always set to oldies on 710 AM. - Pachypodium baronii May 17, 11:46
- Probably 20-25 AM stations in my market. I listen to 4-5 regularly. Plus FM, FMHD, SXM. That's just in the car. - zunk takes things literally May 17, 11:29
- There's a certain charm to listening to staticky sports broadcasts on AM. - Max May 17, 11:21 4
  - and late nights, big city signals would travel forever -- nm - hollywood big shot May 17, 11:24 3
    - WBZ Boston. -- nm - loosilu May 17, 11:37

    - I'm probably just out of date. I wonder what the market i8s in my area? -- nm - loosilu May 17, 11:38 1
      - Looks like it's about 40% Spanish language in my area. -- nm - loosilu May 17, 11:40
- It was the top choice for long car trips because AM travels further. No stereo, though. -- nm - loosilu May 17, 11:14 2
  - AM stereo has been around for 20+ years. -- nm - zunk takes things literally May 17, 11:20 1
    - That's probably 5 years after the last time I listened to AM. -- nm - loosilu May 17, 11:31
- I would mostly for the news out of Chicago but they've since started broadcasting in FM (better quality) and also via an app for timeshifting -- nm - oblique May 17, 11:12
- you haven't been missing much (it was Top 40 before FM took over the airwaves in the 70s) -- nm - hollywood big shot May 17, 11:09 1
  - Miss a little, miss a lot. -- nm - zunk takes things literally May 17, 11:21
