Is there any hope for the AM radio band?  A few major-market AM stations still enjoy success, but AM radio is suffering most everywhere else.  Professional Engineer, Ted Schober, says there are solutions to help AM stations, including smaller antennas and a transition to digital transmission.  Is it already too late to save AM, or are there real solutions here that will give consumers and broadcasters new options?
