The FCC finally wised up and imposed a standard: Motorola C-QUAM.
Those stations left with Kahn equipment were required to turn it off,
although Kahn's POWERside system -- which can be implemented on the
same exciter -- remains legal.

Now, of course, we have IBOC, which is incompatible with both.  (Some
would suggest that it's incompatible with analog broadcasting
generally -- but to date there has not been any wide-scale testing of
the AM IBOC system so we can't say with a certainty who will be proven
right.)
