SAD NEWS
A contractor dismantling a radio tower near the Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills fell more than 100 feet to his death and was killed Monday afternoon. The Associated Press identified the victim as Dan Plants, 51, of Triadelphia, W.Va. Plants was a well-known tower climber who has done painting and other maintenance work for radio stations throughout the tri-state area for years.
The tower is one of two owned by WGBN (1150), licensed to nearby New Kensington. WGBN is owned by the Pentecostal Temple Church of God in Christ in Pittsburgh's East Liberty neighborhood and is the region's first full-time gospel music station.

I'm not so sure. They said the same thing about cable TV and Sat. radio.
They also said Am radio would die with FM. This is still new technology and I happen to think it has a chance.
