Not studio quality.
Studio quality AM is +/- 5KHz.

Please quote the FCC regulations limiting AM BCB to 5 kHz.

Sadly, with all the NRSC crap in place, it's close to that. Didn't used
to
be a decade ago. It's going to get worse with the new regulations that
are
coming with IBOC too. AM quality is just going to hell and it's the
result
of the listeners, the FCC, the station owners, and the radio manufacturers
all not giving a damn.

IBOC requires the AM sidebands to be kept under 5kHz because of
the Digital Sidebands. Fortunately, the stations running IBOC are
getting a lot of flack from listeners regarding the horrid AM bandwidths.
