General Radio Discussion / Re: FCC Proposals for More AM Revitalization Efforts Due March 21
« on: March 19, 2016, 0015 UTC »
I agree with Buzzy Buzzard on this one. The best way to revitalize AM is to somehow (no idea how this could be done without starting a freedom of speech firestorm) bring variety back to nighttime stations in the States. Tuning up and down the dial and getting endless copies of Coast To Coast, Red Eye Radio, or canned sports talk is beyond boring and frustrating for me, and I'm already an MW DXer. Imagine what a casual listener must think. Yaaaaawn.
I'm extremely grateful for our local public radio station, and for the handful of folks playing programming that hasn't come from a syndicated cookie cutter. Hi there, CBC outlets and Canadian locals, and a few intrepid US broadcasters.
Incidentally, one of the most enjoyable nights of AM DXing I ever spent was the one when I had AM 990 in Winnipeg, CBC Radio 1, in here, clear as a bell!

This's going to cause all sorts of logging confusion, on top of the sharding shame of a squash factor. Zambia's hard enough to hear as is!
