The "usually accepted" way it was before stations had to try to a) get in the pocket of local retailers FIRST for Christmas and b) Cause more "real" announcers to want to commit suicide was... Thanksgiving and fist week after: 1 per hour, Next week 2 per hour, 3rd week 3 per hour, 4th or week...

More likely, if we don't win the battle in my industry which NEEDS public voices....to keep AM in cars.... the services will go away. Just my opinion. FM is too crowded now, with LPFMs, Translators, (full disclosure, I have two translators)...and regular signals. I think, if we don't win this...

Some have, some have gone "all digital". Other countries call it "medium wave" but, also remember that in most countries outside of the USA, the GOVERNMENT owns and operates the broadcasting, thus they make the decisions. Our country is rather unique in having privately owned and operated...

I think, and this is my opinion, that the "noise" issue of all-electric cars having AM came up somewhere in a laboratory for (some) manufacturers, and the easy way out was to pull it. The "big" people in broadcasting, like the NAB only got on board with trying to assist (AM) broadcasters when...

OK, it's time. Again: We're talking CONTENT here, not rules of being a licensee. Do you have any qualifications to argue this? What are they? Where are you coming from and why can't you grasp the concept of the fact that WE as broadcasters decide ou own content....there are NO guidelines on...

Does anybody here get it? Putting up the fact we have public files has NOTHING to do with what WE CHOOSE to program. Have you ever READ a public file? Do you know what it is or what it's contents are to be? It's a report on how we serve OUR communities, which means HOW we do it is up to US...

In reasonable memory. Meaning for the "exactness" person trying to prove me wrong, they are NOT going to send AM to the graveyard over "talk shows" and agendas that people spread rumors-of on the internet. Good Grief. I've been an owner for nearly 20 years and in radio for 35. What you're...

Don't give in to that very common assumption/conspiracy. You must remember a couple things. 1) The FCC makes plenty of money on licenses for AM stations every year, they call it "spectrum fees" while WE call it "pay your yearly fee or lose your 8-year license. and, 2) The FCC has NEVER...

And Toyota proved that hybrids and EV's CAN indeed have AM. This was an excuse for Ford, who then agreed to send an "over the air" update to put the AM button BACK into their vehicle...(for now.)

Not so. It's fidelity is limited only by it's owners' commitment to proper studio and processing/engineering. Even in 10khz bandwidth it can sound excellent AND be in (analog) stereo, where "digital" (HD-hybrid digital, not "high def" steals half the bandwidth. ) causes issues to other...

And it has arrived, well packaged and going to be FUN to put to use, REALLY! We WILL. Thank you so much. This gentleman (seller) member is a class act!

Agreed. Should not be an issue.

If you are, indeed having issues because of the 5G, (first I've heard of it actually from a non-broadcaster) you're one of the satellite users in the country that will need a filter which may or may not help, depending on strength of (5g) signal. As a broadcaster, we had the option to file with...

Would love to see ANY re-launch of alternatives to "bigger" companies that force so much on customers. won't hold my breath, but if it does relaunch, I'll be in line to re-buy equipment just to have the option supported. Got rid of all my equipment except the dishes, which I never used.....Ran...
