The reason is the elitists and spineless copy-cats running the show. The old model is outdated. A new interactive programming model with VARIETY, once said "to be the spice of life" will revive the Radio heart attack. Playing the same songs from a play-list of 300 tunes, and all the sickening political yak-yak is the virus taking over the domestic broadcast spectrum. AM could be easily revived with a little ingenuity on the part of owners or managers. People will come back if the programming is interesting and refreshing. We used to have it with competition, but Bubba Clinton killed that with TA'96. By the way, it was authored by a Republican! So, both parties STINK and the FCC policy that is prevalent today is the result. Newt Gingrich at one time called for the elimination of the FCC. I'm not a fan of his, but once in a while he throws out some good ideas. Radio is slowly going dead, but then the USA is slowly going dead also, or at least “out of business”.
