Oh, how I still miss Rush so much! And it looks like AM radio in general is missing him, too.

Do new cars even have AM radio on their systems any more?

What a great idea to get rid of the last sector of the culture dominated by conservatives!

[TChad]

When did “AM” come to mean “AM radio station”?

[Political Junkie Too]

I still believe that the ABC Radio Network, whose flagship station WABC in New York City was the home to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, purposely decided to sell their AM radio network in order to break up the affiliate network across the country in order to slow the spread of conservative talk radio.

Think of it as the precursor of Facebook and Twitter canceling conservatives from using their infrastructure to spread the conservative agenda.

It is a dangerous time for AMs.

I hope our AM's are kept safe from harm in these trying times.

These times, so trying. The times. Trying and such. Yep.

I wasn’t sure what the AMs going dark meant, but I figured it had to be about the new “female” M&Ms. Or maybe M&Ms going POC.

I’m afraid the FCC is going to use stats like this to justify the forcing of AM to go digital. Which won’t solve any problem the industry has, and will only make it worse. I’d rather see them force FM to go digital which would double or triple the program content and leave AM alone. Relax regulations to make it more feasible for community groups and small companies to buy the licenses and run even lower power if they want to, where’s the harm? If an AM broadcaster has a good business model and is making money - leave them alone! If big companies think they can make more $ on FM, so be it. I’d hate to see the end of the 50KW signals but that’s where you run into real operating costs.

1010 WINS. You give us 22 minutes, we’ll turn off our transmitter.

I’m not an AM, I’m an SSB, LSB mostly.
