I'm here, and ever the skeptic.  20 years ago AMs were having increasing
difficulty getting people to listen, despite programming that was often
better executed than similarly formatted FMs.  Today there's a whole
generation of people who have never had a reason to listen to AM.  Do you
think they're gonna go out of their way to listen to a 500W station with a
weird pattern that doesn't really cover any populated area?  Witness the
all new ever newer WMEX.  And we're talking a station that has a
semi-decent daytime signal.  

If AM really comes back from the almost dead, feel free to say you told me so.
