Those in danger could be AM 640, 1240, 1410, 1530, 1590, for starters. I also do not see Polnet wanting to maintain AM transmitters into the future, when you can be online for a fraction.

Just my opinion, I believe you will see 1/4 up to 1/2 of the AM signals in Chicago either be sold for a fraction of what they were worth 5 - 10 years ago, or sign off and go dark in Chicago, within the next 5 years. Even if selling them, the issue of high costs to run, maintain and finding land to do it remains. Notice how the big players are all diplexing their signals at fewer and fewer shared sites?

In larger markets where FM translators are available, but need the AM signal to keep them legal, will keep the AM signals alive for a bit longer. This falls apart rapidly, if the Feds loosen rules having an AM or HDx to actually translate to FM translators.

The rural areas will keep on until the end, not being able to run or reliably receive FM signals.

This is the time for all of you AM aficionados that love music on AM stations, to start buying them up and make the dream come true like Rebel Radio is doing! If WNDZ was 30K, AM 750 has got to be valued at 1/2 that and would be a steal! :-)
