Well, you'd need financial backing aside from sponsorships -- most AM stations lose money, especially in smaller markets. If you'd intend on running old time radio programming, you;d need to pay licensing fees to the copyright holders. If you'd do original programmoing, you;d need to have some way to pay a decent wage to writers, actors, sound technicians, and engineers.

You can see where this is going, I fear. A genuine vintage-radio station is no longer possible in today's market. Sad, but true.

Nashville used to have a pretty good station (WAMB) that played lots of big band and so on. Now they sold out to the low end Mexican and liberal talk shows. Ugh! Is there such thing as an AM whole house transmitter, so one could transmit from an I-Pod, etc. to your old AM radio?
