[BC] Nominations For Best sounding AM

[Jerry Mathis]

When I was a teenager, I listened to WLS at night in Southern Tennessee. Picked it up on the typical 6 transistor radio of the time. But now, I've tried tuning in WLS at night. It's usually totally buried in background noise. Since I doubt WLS transmits with any less power than it did in the '60's, and I'm pretty sure they've maintained their ground system, the difference is due to the dramatically increased noise floor and the absolutely POS AM radios they make today.
 
I sometimes travel long distances at night. I'd LOVE to be able to listen to WLS playing the same music I listened to then. But it just ain't gonna happen.

It appears to me at night, if some one at Citadel/Chicago had any brains, they would simulcast WLS-AM with WLS-FM at night. Let the AM talk all day, but when the sun goes down, The Big 89 would rule the airwaves with the Rock Oldies that we all grew up to. I don't care what some consultant says, it would make money.
