I grew up in NYC. AM radio was relevant until at least 1967. WNEW didn't make its debut until October 1967 and that was the beginning of longer selections of music. The one beauty of AM radio in the sixties was they played everything so exposure to music was great. You could hear Getz/Gilberto on the same station as the Beatles. Not so today. Music is way to stratified in its marketing.
