I think we have just seen the future...there is an FM antenna connector, but with the plethora of stuff available on the net, it might be irrelevant.

If its any consolation, when we Part 15 AMers get aced out by these new technologies, the CEOs of Clear Channel, CBS, ABC, et al will be in the same boat. At least we see it coming...

You never know it by looking at the enthusiam of the Internet boards. But I do agree with you. Still the city terrestrial boards carry the most traffic, especially the oldies board. Theres always constant activity and the longest threads.

I think that that there is presently and will be for some
time and older group that still relates to radio. As this group gets older
and dies off (myself included) it will shrink in size to become
unimportant to commericial radio interests. I see signs of this
happening already. We have a fairly vibrant AM station in our
town which has local talk shows, dial-in items for sale show,
and national right wing talk shows. They get pretty good ratings
as we have a lot of older and retired folks here. The other side of the
equatation is the college sudents and younger professionals which
seldom listen to Am or FM radio. So a market or listener group my
be present for a few years if one is discerning about there interests
and musical tastes.

Just my 2 cents .. I play oldies and big band music
