Invoking Betteridge's law of headlines: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." AM may have it's technical limitations, specifically when compared to FM, but as a medium it's not dead and I doubt it's about to be anytime soon. It's still very popular amongst political talk, at least here in the U.S. Edit: spelling

That may be true, but as anecdota I had a show on one of those talk stations just a year ago. They broadcast on 2 frequencies on the FM dial, covering a wide geographic range.

In my experience, talk and even music on AM radio in Africa is used more then FM. I believe this is because the cost associated with AM equipment costs, and the distances AM can cover. I can get an AM signal in the middle of nowhere with a diode and a bunch of wires.
