I recently asked myself this question? Where is AM Radio heading?
Half a century ago, aside from vinyl records, people listen to music through AM Radio. I can’t imagine
the quality, but FM changed everything.
It was way better to listen to songs on FM, because of the improved quality. Suddenly AM Radio became synonymous to NewsTalk radio.

In the US, we now hear a number of AM stations simulcasting and even broadcasting independently on the FM Band. Continue reading AM Radio, To Be Phased Out in 2012?
