I do remember seeing one new AM-only radio about 2004 or maybe 2005. This was soon after a large chain of discount food stores (one of the ones that mainly sells their own brands) had been selling a "Micro FM" radio for $1, including earphones.
This one was built into the same tiny clear plastic cabinet the FM radios were, only it had a dial (not a scan button) for AM, and a tiny (2 cm long, maybe a gram) loopstick visible in the case.
It did not perform nearly as well as a Micro-FM, downright abysmal. It needed about 25mV/m to hear a thing, and was about 300 kHz off calibration.
I might still have it in the basement somewhere.
