AM is literally on its last legs in the UK, even BBC Radio 4 shut down on it recently. Soon it'll be just Radio Caroline and the odd hobby pirate.
We'll come to regret it I think, the old Radio 4 signal could be picked up all over the country from like three transmitters and received on something as basic as a razor blade and coil of wire. We're so keen to turn the internet into a massive single point of failure, and it'll bite us in the arse with the Russians going about cutting our cables.
