AM directionals being turned off in large numbers?  Where?
Here in New England, the  ly AM's I recall being closed 
down relatively recently were:
WHEB-AM 750 in Portsmouth, NH (not directional)
WQDY-AM 1230 in Calais, ME (in the news recently and a special case)
WNLC-AM 1510, New London, CT (directional DA-2)
Some comments about WQDY mentioned some ME graveyarders
have gone silent, doant know wheah.
Then there's the 1050-AM in Peterboro, NH that morphed into
650 in Ashland through various manifestations.
Some defenders of the first deregulation bill signed by 
Hillary's bedmate(?) said it kept oodles of radio stations
on the cusp of insolvency from going dark.  But radio stations
seem to resist the "dying of the light"
