jic said: (quoted from post at 01:40:20 03/07/13) over on the case board we've been talking about radios. old am radios, do any am stations play music any more ? i don't know of any central indiana stations that do. what about the rest of the U.S. ?
We've got a few daytimers in NC/NW IN and SW MI that still play music, at least part of the day. At least one has a nighttime license, but it has to cut the power down to where it won't reach here when the sun goes down. There's another station where anyone can buy a timeslot, and when nobody does, music plays--one minute it's Polish, the next it's pop music. There's not a long-range station among them. They play mostly oldies and country/classic country (the late 80's are now considered "oldies" by some stations) and most are programmed elsewhere. There's probably more music on the AM dial here than a decade ago, but that's not an impressive statement by any means.
At night, 650 WSM and 740 CZFM come in here.
WOWO in Ft. Wayne swapped liscense designations with another station (in the Northeast?) many years ago. It's still a daytime powerhouse, but the juice is about 1/5th what it was at night. They haven't played music for years. Earl Finkle would be making quips about just another March snowstorm that should have taken nobody by surprise (because he wasn't a weather-guesser) if he were around today.
