I don't know if that betrays more ignorance or prejucide about
braodcat engineers & DJ's. You seem to be thinking of music station
operation

I am. I've really only known small, local stations and NPR (which was
one of the earliest adopters of automation).

I didn't really think networks cared that much about fidelity because
they were limited to 5 kHz on AM anyway.

Rotten thought apparatus indicated on the scope again:

My AM radio listening days stopped completely by 1960. The only reason
I ever listen to AM today is in my car when I'm traveling and see a
flashing "Tune to 560 for traffic information" sign. But I remember
being told by a reasonable source that the FCC regulation at the time
was a 5 kHz bandwidth for AM, 15 kHz for FM. And before FM broadcast,
AM receivers really didn't do much above 5 kHz anyway. Even the
"consoles" that contained a record player as well as a radio didn't
reproduce anything worth mentioning above 10 kHz, and there should be
no problem getting that off the inside of a transcription disk. If the
broadcast industry really did take wide frequency response and low
tracing distortion seriously, they were probably going in the wrong
direction to improve the fidelity of broadcasts.

FM was pretty good in the '70's and '80's, and there are still a few
classical stations with a conscience that broadcast in remarkably good
fidelity. Everything else has gone to the dogs.
