I can’t really think that a new AM station would attract young listeners, the BBC has consistently tried and failed to attract younger listeners across all its output and as a result have peed off their older listeners & viewers. It’s definitely a nostalgia / vintage wireless “thing” and maybe we should accept it as inevitable and rebroadcast our favourite stations via pantry transmitters & be done with the main broadcasters (apart from Caroline of course).
