Not only is AM radio dead, but FM as well and even more so. I can't remember the last time I tuned into an FM station and I live in the New York City area so there are many to choose from. I was an early adopter of the iPod. I bought one weeks after it was first introduced and signed up on audible.com shortly thereafter. I ripped my extensive collection of music on CD and I never looked back. I use iTunes, buy CDs, subscribe to audible.com and several podcasts. So what it comes down to i that I choose my content and schedule the consumption of it it as I please. Most importantly of all, I do this with absolutely no commercial interruption. So radio has been dead for me personally for years and will remain that way forever more. On another note, TV is also dying in the sense that I no longer watch "live" TV. Being an early adopter of both Netflix and TiVo I have come to the point where I source my video the same way I do with my audio only most of my video comes free of charge. Finally, while I may be ahead of most people I think it is safe to say that most commercial radio and television will be dead in ten years. You do bring up the live aspect of radio and television and I suppose that sports and news radio and television broadcasts will remain in the end but you will likely subscribe to them as services. Goodbye UHF, VHF, AM, FM, ABC, CBS, NBC. See you in the annals of history.
