Too little, too late.

Such was the fate of AM Stereo, a technology some believed would be the savior of AM radio in the '80s. However by the time it arrived, much of the radio audience had migrated to FM and they weren't coming back. Not helping matters was lack of a standardized system, which confused listeners (this aircheck of Terry Stevens uses the Khan system). Interest in AM Stereo waned in the '90s and few stations were using it by the 2000s.
