And that format's audience is dwindling as the population ages.
A stand alone AM pretty much has to concentrate on local news and events, and be in a market which is neither large nor over-crowded to do that.

I should add....not entirely a failure of the FCC that a market is over
radioed.. sure they allot the frequencies, but too many broadcasters
believe just because you CAN shove a frequency in, you SHOULD do it. Just
because there's spectrum space doesnt mean you should actually light it
up. KLXR had no website and a sparse social media presence as I recall.
I worked for a standalone 25,000 Watt FM in the market and WE STRUGGLED to
break even some months. I can't imagine how a 1kw standalone AM managed to
last this long
KLXR ran "The America's Best Music" soft adult oldies format from Westwood
One via satelitte feed.
