I bought an HD Radio for just this reason - I can get the FM HD signals for 1010 and 680 in my apartment, while the AM band flooded with noise. Ironically, HD Radio also killed WBFO reception when 88.9 decided to put on 4 HD sub-channels!

Very few young people still listen to radio.  This does not bode well for its future.  Apartment dwellers like myself
cannot receive adequate reception of AM stations, so streaming is the only option.  In Toronto we cannot receive
NPR over the air so streaming is the only option.  Other than Classical 96 and rarely CBC One there is nothing on
local FM that appeals to me, so streaming is the only option.  In the car I listen to Sirius XM all the time. Therefore
I strongly feel that as the years go by, radio’s days are numbered.  My kids aged in their 40s do not have a radio
at home and my grandkids use their phones for music.  
 

Why would they drop Coast to Coast AM overnights? Is it that expensive?
Radio is at its best when it's conveying a live human voice. Wasting 50,000 watts on podcasts is just sad.

Also, why cancel the Early Edition at 5:00 AM, just to have John Moore join Robert Turner to start Moore in the Morning thirty minutes earlier? This makes no sense.
 

Does anyone know why CFRB runs the "best of George Noory" on Saturday nights (Sunday at 1AM)? It's live coming from Buffalo, Cleveland, etc. At first I thought it was a technical issue, but they have been doing it for a few weeks.

CFRB runs the live feed on other nights, why the reruns on Saturday?
 

Does anyone know if/when the HD subcarrier on 99.9 will be back? It's the only way (other than iHeartRadio) to hear CFRB in my concrete building.
