The various comments on this thread confirm my suspicions, that AM radio will go the way of newspapers in this country. In about 20 yrs, there will only be FM radio because people get music, news and info. from other sources (internet, TV, XFM, etc.). Most tube radios and stereos I buy have FM band because I want to keep using them into the future. Though I am not much of an AM radio fan, I can see how something would be missing if there were no more AM band. Radio would never be the same without it. It also will devestate the radio collectors who love firing up their restored Philcos, Zeniths, RCAs, Grundigs, etc.
