Here in Atlanta we have the usual sports/talk/news AM stations. Lately however I have seen several interesting stations 'pop-up'. One at 1690 has an eclectic (to say the least) program. Seriously now when was the last time you heard Miles Davis on AM???
The last commercial classical station here was on AM. They switched formats years ago. Really miss that station. Back in the '60s it seemed like all the top 40 stations were on AM. The avant-garde, 'underground' stations started showing up on FM. Now it would seem that that trend is reversing? At least in some way? |

AM does have it's main niche, talk, but there are plenty of local and music AMer's out there. I would hold up the headstone on AM radio, remember in places like Canada, it took government pressure to clear the AM band of the CBC but there are plenty of private AMer's in Canada as well.

two Montreal AM stations die the same day
Info 690 (French language all news) and AM 940 (earlier English
language all news, but lately a old hits music station) were both shut down by parent company Corus News this morning at 10 AM EST, both are currently sending a loop stating that the company was closing the stations due to poor economic conditions, with operations to continue on two existing FM outlets. Final transmitter shutdown is scheduled for 7 PM tonight. These two stations had been operating since around 1999 on two frequencies earlier used by the CBC. I don't think these two spots will be taken over by any Canadian broadcasters anytime soon! Last edited by electroking; 01-29-2010 at 12:03 PM. Reason: corrected spelling |
