FWIW, here's how I found AM.
1) Bought Treo 650
2) Bought PocketTunes to listen to internet radio
3) Found RadioIO 70s channel which played 2 PFM tracks over a period of several weeks. PFM on the
radio in the USA??? What a novel idea. But this channel played a lot of different genres of 70s music and wasn't focused enough on what I liked, so I started searching for progressive rock programming. If it exists at all, it will be on the internet, right?
4) After listening to several different stations around the world, this one seemed decent and I kept listening. Much music I know and love, but even more I don't know or never even heard of.
5) The clincher was the ability for listeners to request their own tracks and in essence extend the music programming model out to the entire listener community. Very cool concept.
As an aside, an article on the history of how AM came to be would be interesting to me.
