I honestly can't remember when I listened to an AM station, and also if I wanted to listen to an AM station these days I would listen to it via an app that streams AM stations, not the actual radio itself

End of a love affair: AM radio is being removed from many cars

After a century-long romance, the car and AM radio are breaking up, leaving conservative talk shows, programs aimed at immigrants and religious stations wondering how they'll connect with listeners.

@scalzi where I live in Point Reyes, we don’t get cell service, and the National park service broadcasts emergency info only on AM. My car doesn’t have an am radio anymore. So I carry around a small am radio in case of emergency.
