Well, Jeff, I'm sure that's a matter of oppinion, but I'd say that radio
started to go downhill in the late 1970's and early 80's, when the AM
broadcast band started being taken over by talk radio stations of various
kinds. ... Then, as we got into the 1990's, we saw the big conglomorates
like Clear channel purchasing groups of AM and FM stations, and getting into
the automated sindicated broadcast mode.
That, to me, was really the end of good locally-run personality-filled radio
as we knew it!
