Reality is almost never "kind"....unless you are 620 or 970..and they snapped up most of what passes for listenable these days, either content or signalwise on whats left of the Tampa Bay AM band. Perhaps this new system may be more accurate? This reflects what most of us have thought for years.
What is left? Two sports stations, one will never begin to prosper until the signal is addressed...and these days, why would you?; and the other mostly a mouthpiece for ESPN. A few urban, a little spanish, some God Squads and the remaining 2nd and 3rd tier right wing outlets featuring (yawn) the same ol' stuff off the bird.
Now if whichever AM thats left is in position to a) give us something listenable and b) find yourself an HD slot.....well, just do it and let's see how it sounds.
