AM radio and Max (Mac?) Richmond

[Kevin Vahey]

Mac Richmond by 1970 saw that FM was not going away but WBOS was no longer
for sale. I remember that Mac was concerned by WRKO-FM ( WROR ) and WKOX-FM
which would become WVBF.

What delayed FM was US automakers were reluctant to offer AM-FM tuners and
the NAB lobbied hard to keep the status quo.
