Give Me Some Skin
Philly's new "Skin Radio" sees a future for music on AM radio.
Tom Kelly (Marconi Broadcasting) told Inside Radio "in the research, we found that listeners in their 20s don't have a negative attitude about AM radio" -- not the way some baby boomers do.
Kelly (who just paid $5 million for 1340 WHAT) likes the future for music on digital AM. And ZombieRadio thinks he's right. With digital broadcast of AM stations on HD Radio (one of the few real benefits of HD Radio at all) and the sure-to-kill-HD WiFi Radios combined with city-wide Wi-Max signals, matching digital streams with a terrestrial AM radio has most-likely never been more lucrative.
