As part of the cleanup process, the automated bot PocKleanBot has generated this notice as a focus of cleanup efforts, and also contacted several contributing editors of the article to bring their attention to the problem. You should use this section to discuss possible resolution of the problem and achieve consensus for action. Only when there is a consensus that the article is now cleaned up should you then de-list it by deleting the cleanup tag from the article, this causes the article to drop off the monthly cleanup-needed list page.

Reply: AM Stereo gave AM radio a better sound. That's the whole point of this article.

- No, articles aren't supposed to advocate a point of view. Still, the purpose of an article's talk page isn't to discuss the merits of the subject. Brithgob 22:05, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

XETRA was running AM Stereo in 1969. I received a flier in the mail on how it worked and was playing around with it back in Junior High with different radios. It seemed to work OK. KHJ experimented with the Khan system years later. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ronaldgibson (talk • contribs) 18:08, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Format wars comment
This...
 * 1982 - After a series of lawsuits and accusations, the FCC, under Ronald Regan's administration, decides "Let the marketplace decide" and revokes the Magnavox certification as the AM stereo standard for political reasons (same thing happened with VCRs; Beta was technically better than VHS; Betamax is what broadcast stations/networks used, but see who won? NOT the better system, just the popular one)

...I edited because it sounds like some individual's opinion. The part in parentheses is deleted and the "citation needed" tag added. Michael Patrick (talk) 00:57, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

As the proprietor of the Official AM Stereo Web Site, which has been online since 1997, I just spent considerable time editing and cleaning up the AM Stereo entry. Opinionated meanderings added by previous editors have been removed and replaced with facts, to help improve the quality of the article. Kevtronics (talk)

Kahn-Hazeltine section has incomplete sentences
In Table of Contents go to 2.4 Kahn-Hazeltine and scroll down to the Belar System heading. The last few lines of text just above the Belar System heading are corrupted and incomplete sentences.

I found the AM Stereo article extremely interesting. I knew there were several incompatible broadcast standards for years that made AM Stereo impractical in the USA because of the expense involved in equipping a broadcast station and the expense of acquiring a stereo receiver. If the receiver and the broadcast method did not match, both broadcasters and consumers were losers.

This section of the article was tweaking my interest because I was curious what the differences were between the stereo methods being advocated. (Larry (talk) 09:58, 14 January 2012 (UTC))

Bias
The last paragraph of this article (under "Decline in Use" section) is biassed against HD Radio and uses "weasel" words to make its "point". I'm removing it. This is supposed to be an "encyclopedic" article, not a debate on the merits of analogue and digital transmission methods. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.120.107.248 (talk) 02 May 2012 13:58:54 (UTC)
