WMID=STEREO

I find I have been listening to WMID constantly when on and off line. I have a very expensive computer system, and a more expensive Music System. I have WMID flowing through my System. What I noticed is that the stereo effect/separation/broadcast clarity is second to none. I cannot recall any other station on the net that sounds this good, which transmits the original signal in AM mono. The overall sound is amazing and its true stereo, far superior to the AM transmission. What I cannot understand is why does this station broadcast in mono on an AM signal. I would think WMID could broadcast in AM Stereo or do what they did a few years back and also use 102.3 and make it WMID-FM, back when they simulcasted Standards. Something even better is put the format on a more powerful signal in the area. It seems unfair to waste a truly great sound on just one AM mono signal.
 
AM Stereo is dead, there are only a handful of radios out there.
It's so dead, in fact, when I bought the new transmitter for
WMID a couple of years ago, the manufacturer didn't even pitch
the option.

102.3 is better off simulcasting WAYV, to help give them some
ratings in Cape May County, where it doesn't come in very well.
 
I'm happy you like it, it's interesting what you can accomplish with some good old analog processing into the stream, as different from the on air processing which is digital.

What's interesting though about your comment is that I optimized the amount of reverb for what I think is best for the mono on air signal. The stream gets the stereo version of the same reverb, which I think is a bit too heavy.

Too each there own, obviously.

As Tom indicated, you're not going to find much AM stereo out there nowadays. There are few receivers anymore and it's incompatible with HD.
