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 there are definitely areas in the west where I have been able to pick up maybe 1 FM station. Even driving around town, I sometimes have to switch over to the AM broadcast for NPR because the FM signal doesn’t reach/is blocked by a hill.
