And we have circled back to what MA3 digital AM was supposed to fix from the get go, and how it turned out. (like the proverbial garbage disposal)

My vacuum cleaner is more pleasant to listen to than any AM station on the air today.
Of course AM music sounds awful. But as a kid I spent hundreds of hours listening to AM 89 WLS in the car (no FM radio at the time in the cars my parents had…or my first car as a teenager) …It was a joke. But it’s fun for a few minutes to listen to crappy sounding AM oldies….makes me feel like a kid again.
I wish something could be done …maybe WLS could mix in a little music with their their talk. Like have a three hour block of music and mix in some music critics or artists talking about the music from back then. Just an idea.….realistically it probably wouldn’t work! Here’s a link from You Tube of some music (July 1980) on WLS.

Today's talk voices really do drone on without rhyme or reasons, but IMO, the locals in the morning on my stations find a way to keep it fresher and more interesting, so the vacuum is still the drone in the room.
When an AM station is ran correctly, it can sound pretty close to FM. When the station uses up it's bandwidth efficiently and provides the whole range of spectrum instead of a narrow slice, and when the station uses a proper modulator, and when the station tower is the right height, and whatnot, the station is ran correctly. Also of course, you can tell which stations are good quality because they can still be readily heard in their fringe areas, or even outside of them (this last statement mainly applies to plains stations like KRVN).
