Well,

Even though its getting on in the evening, I'm not going to send
everyone to an early sleep with a lengthy dissertation as to why I
feel the way I do on this divisive but important subject. That has
been expressed many times by others more eloquently than I can. I
don't expect at this point to change anyone's mind on the subject;
conversely, I doubt any one will alter my
convictions either. The basic fact for us down here is for the past 82
years we have, and still, derive significant revenue from our sky-wave
coverage area and we are committed to protecting that tradition.

I do look forward to the discourse after September 14th when the
evidence and data is documented. I also look forward to working with
our coalition of broadcasters whether it is to find solutions or seek
damages.

What was that you were saying, Eduardo ?

He was saying whatever he was making up (out of thin air) at the time.

One station. There are 4800 AM stations, About 5 make money from skywave
coverage, and most of the rest have reduced coverage at night due to
interference.

Thank the Bozo Reagan for that. Prior to the 1980s AM radio at night
was KILLER!- Hide quoted text -

What killed skywave night radio reception was the proliferation of FMs in
local markets that offered similar formats without interference and with
better quality. It had nothing to do with Reagan. In fact, the only possible
detriment to skywave listening then was the 70's decision to break down the
1-A clear channels and to add 1-B stations to each (like KRVN in NE on 880,
WCBS's home).
