Those believing this about analog AM and FM broadcast systems might want to 
compare the published specs of AM transmitters to those of FM transmitters.

The design/performance of their respective receive systems, co- and 
adjacent-channel interference, atmospheric and locally-generated radio noise 
also have large effects -- all of which favor FM.
