With all this talk about licensing low-power FMs, I would think that in 
a lot of places, there might be more band space for low-power AMs.  
The engineering details I leave to others, but it might give more people 
a reason to listen to the AM band.

OTOH, maybe not.  How many people bother to watch local-access 
cable TV?
