There goes a piece of my past!

  "The 2024 Mustang is Ford’s first internal combustion model to be marketed without AM."

 "If you lose AM stations like ours, you lose the voices that speak to conservatives, to minorities and to the religious sector — that’s three important groups, and that would be a real loss.”

Part of a story in today's Washington Post about the slow but increasing death of AM Radio. 


(Photo: Note the prominence of the AM 960 in the logo from my days in Birmingham radio in the 1970's. Even then, FM was primarily listed to by college kids seeking music NOT in the "Top 40".)
 

The first radio station on which I worked was WBAB-AM in Babylon, New York.
