It would be silly to leave one station on in each market in analog. Who would pick the station and who would pay the cost to keep the transmitter on the air? A lot of stations ran their old transmitters down to the last mile so many of then don't have many trouble free hours left so who would pay to replace these transmitters? The way things are today in ad sales the stations don't have the cash. In some markets like LA if something bad happens we have AM radio KNX and KFI both 50000 watt flame throwers and much better news departments then most of the television stations. KFI makes more money then most FM stations so AM is not dead yet.
