It's so refreshing to hear KVI especially when you drive under the trolly wires or by some site that generates gobs of electrical interference and buh-zipp KVI disappears off your dial for a moment. Use it as a learning tool so you children understand what it was like in the "bad old days" before FM, cable-TV, the internet, mp3s. Good god how did we survive?

KVI "GREATEST HITS" FORMAT NOT A HIT WITH LISTENERS
- Thread starter discjockeyjohn64

And that is a good point Mr. MightyMoose.. With the higher-quality choices, why would listeners put up with the static and noise? Not to mention the muffled sound and mono. The fact is listeners aren't, in ever-increasing numbers, spending time with AM.
A friend of mine reminded me that back in the 1940's, Edward Armstrong and David Sarnoff were predicting that FM would replace AM because of the lower noise and better quality.

Mr. Guru,
Yes part of the point about KVI was that you really could give kids a sense of the progression of various electronic delivery systems used by the media. Some of the bright ones might understand that what they accept now as normal will be ancient technology in 40 years. The rest is just a tongue-in-cheek recollection of the way it used to be without placing a negative or positive value on it.

"Edward Armstrong and David Sarnoff were predicting that FM would replace AM because of the lower noise and better quality." I've never heard it put that way before. David Sarnoff did everything he could to prevent Armstrong from succeeding with FM. He was very happy with the status quo and more concerned with developing television.

Edwin Armstrong and Sarnoff became adversaries; Armstrong was a major RCA shareholder until the General and Armstrong "disagreed."
