Does anybody listen to AM Radio anymore?

Post by chris2010 » Sun Apr 25, 2010 11:01 pm

I was just wondering if anyone listened to AM radio anymore? Are there still AM radio stations?... These are the kind of thoughts I have running through my mind when I can't sleep at 2am.

I keep forgetting there even IS AM radio!
Maybe I'll try listening to some today... but it will probably suck.

its sindicated all over. if you check the web site you can find a station near you that broadcasts it. art bell used to do the show from his compound in parump nv. for years and i think he originated the show. its the most popular show on am radio..........lol.......

I listen to an all news am station during my commute on workdays. AM radio seems now to be dominated by rabid right wing talk shows and news only stations.

I only listen to AM radio if I am driving across country from one liberal enclave to another, and I extremely bored.

Audio fidelity is normally pretty crappy. Political views are often outlandish and good for a laugh or two. ;)

I've never listened to AM radio. I know there is a station in my town that gives the local news and has a trading post. (but they have a website now, so you don't have to listen)
