AM590 ESPN Radio done.

Does AM Radio actually still exist? And more importantly, if it does, WHY?

For some of us, it is the only thing other than ham or SW that we can receive without something like starlink.

Jeebus and right wing talk shows is my guess. Other than the odd sports broadcast, that’s all that I ever seem to run into on the rare occasions i’m ever on terrestrial radio.

Times have changed

Yep, everything is migrating to streaming. With cell phones and "unlimited data plans," there will be further reductions in "free radio." And now us listeners are trapped into the never ending "you'll need to sign up (read "pay for") the xyz plan for this service. When it comes to profit, all of the cell phone companies will stop at nothing.

Yep. And that will suck. Good thing prices are going down on gas, groceries, cars, electricity, and everything else.
