[BC] Wow, I wonder if y ou feel the same way about AM?

[Broadcast List USER]

Well, my last time in London was mid to late 80s, so things may have  
changed.

Capitol Radio had both a AM and FM.  On Sunday afternoon, the FM did  
some other programming.  They had to get permission because they were  
required to simulcast at the time.

On Monday morning it was amazing to see how many radios in the shop  
were still tuned to Capitol AM.

I don't know when the bandwidth limiting came to be in England, but  
maybe it was after I was there.

Oh, and I was only there for five weeks, but I was working with Capitol.
