Ajit Pai to save AM radio

Who?

He’s the new FCC commissioner. He’s the son of immigrants from India. The 5 member board is required to have 2 members that are not of the President’s party – Ajit is a Republican.

Ajit plans to lead the charge to figure out why the AM band is fading and see if it can be fixed.

In related news, another AM station in New York City is coming in the market. Polnet – a Polish language station in Chicago operates a Spanish religious station on 910 kHz. It’s not a WABC, WOR or WCBS – but who buys it and why will give hints at the future of AM radio.

Coverage Map

Down in Houston, the FCC gave approval to sell a do-called “black radio” station for a bit over $2 million to a Spanish language religious broadcaster.

I wonder if there are any Hindu format stations in the United States. I know there is a Hari Krishna station in Utah.
