    With apps it probably wont do much for listenership. But man its much better to hear it on AM radio.

    I remember back in the day being able to pick up AM radio stations from far far away. 680 out of the bay, for example.

    I also remember hearing KEX all the way up in Creston (and during the day at that too! it was so weird). Now you can barely pick up AM signals anymore, they're so weak. I remember one time picking up 1510 (KGA) all the way from Spokane to the Dalles.

    Not gonna lie, I kinda miss the days of being able to scan through the dial, picking up various broadcasts of Art Bell, or other night shows, while driving over nighters. Now you get 30 miles out of Portland and the stations are barely there.

    I grew up listening to Greg Poppa during Warriors games coming in and out while I was trying to fall asleep. Only if I tilted my alarm clock radio a certain way. The warriors were sad back then which I wish they’d go back to being.

    I remember when Popovich became the Spurs coach and I thought it was an amazing transformation going from Warriors radio announcer to head coach.
