Tune in to 1360 KMNY @ 8:15 Tuesday

If it's at 8:15 pm I better get some more aluminum foil and another coat hanger.

Yeah, great news for us, bad news for them.
 
I realize that this is probably a matter of survival, but internet "broadcasting" severly limits those who can listen. Beside many listeners having to buy additional components or services to make listening possible on the road, or away from the computer, many workplaces forbid use of thier internet connections for internet radio. It uses a tremendous amount of bandwidth to listen. Since most workplace IT systems are designed for business, not personal use, connecting to streaming broadcasts or internet broadcasts is a violation of policy in most companies as it takes away resources that are meant to promote business, not the pleasure of the employees.

Exactly, broadcast radio is not dead...AM should be killed, but otherwise FM or a new band(s) should replace AM.

Why do you want to get rid of AM radio?

It is a horrible part of the spectrum, prone to dramatic shifts in the signal characteristics necessary to broadcast day versus night, it is antiquated to force stations to shut down or curtail broadcasting at night...the world is now 24hours...both the band and the modulation techniques need to be changed.
