I don't know about the US, but UK am stations still transmit decent audio

or Sennheiser hi-fi phones the audio is excellent on our local stations.

The future was never like this!
I wonder if the quality of AM radio ( not
counting the decline in music
taste)
has gone down since every thing uses soild state diodes as compared to tube
diodes.
No. Narrow IFs and lack of design attention due to declining
worthwhile content on AM (plus novelty of FM in the '60s) and
other factors all conspired to make it sound crappy.
