It may sound like a dumb reason, but I imagine that marketing would be a 
lot tougher with 9kHz spacing.  It's hard enough to establish a brand name, 
esp. on the AM dial where competition is REALLY fierce.   But I would think 
it's tougher to get people to remember you if you're "News/Talk 971" or 
something like that.
