Doesn't matter what you do or don't program.
When you push a button, you'll hear right-wing propaganda
Back in the day our AM stations had local programming. Mostly call in talk shows that covered issues both local and far. The hosts would describe themselves as conservative but they were way more tame than the shit today. Then Rush Limbaugh went national.
There is only two flavors of AM radio I've ever heard (having been born in 1985):
Christian talk
24/7 Traffic reporting
I would have liked to have been around when AM radio was exactly as described by the song AM Radio by Everclear.
That's a catchy tune for sure but it's odd to hear someone being nostalgic about it. It wasn't unusual for someone to say "sorry but all I have is am jams" if they gave you a lift and their radio didn't have FM (AM being pronounced phonetically so it rhymes with jams). AM radio was more known for oldies, pre 60's music. Also the signal faded when you drove under a bridge. For reference I graduated in '84
NPR is pretty great for left leaning media.
