We get AM pretty well in our town. No FM other than the local town station. Cell streaming can be iffy.

Many of the local buses are electric. They put out so much RF trash that no AM radio reception is possible near them. I expect the move to electrify Ford's fleet is a big part of them dumping AM. Save a tiny bit per vehicle, standardize the equipment across the fleet, and avoid customer complaints about unusable AM radios.

I always enjoyed picking up late night AM from far away while driving.

My wife and I were driving on the highway recently, listening to talk radio on the AM radio. Every time we passed a commercial truck of any kind, we would get some some pretty intense interference. I don’t know if it has anything to do with Ford and tear decision, but it is a weird coincidence.

I generally listen to talk radio on AM if I am driving between 8-5, then its the Astros in the evenings.

This lack of AM talk radio access will be an issue for me. I dont wish to pay to stream anything, my listening to radio ads is a tradeoff I am willing to make, nothing further.

Still in the news.

I believe it is to silence certain views and dialog, under the technical guise that ev cannot hear am.

So are they going to replace all the road signs for Emergency AM information with Spotify or IheartRadio advertising?

We recently used on of those stations while driving through Ohio.
