A few months ago, I was working on an old AM radio. The dial was out of calibration I was trying to find a local talk station and came across rock music on AM. I think it was a Grassroots song. It sound great and I commented to my 10 year old son how this is how radio sounded when I was a kid and how I spent hours listening to CKLW, WCFL, WLS, WABC and WKBW. At that moment a KB radio 15 bump aired and I felt like I was back in time. By the third song I realized it had to be automated and there would be no personality to entertain.
