I'm probably the only listener in the NYC area [ :-) ] who owns a stereo AM
radio.  But there's nothing worth listening to (no music to speak of, I mean
any music, trying not to make my musical tastes enter the picture).  There's a
all news station that is in stereo, but what's the point of that?  Also, the
interference (powerline crud from florescent lights, etc) makes FM more
attractive.  In Australia, they seem to have a more healthy AM industry, maybe
because they did pick a standard (maybe a bad choice, but it *was* a choice)
and they did it before thier AM started to die.  There was powerline crud
there, but not as bad isain USA.
