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 @Jwomack i listen to baseball on actual radio. i occasionally stream, but actual radio still sounds better/fuller/analog. crowd sounds, background sound of ball hitting bat, etc, all sound muted & dulled when streaming. plus, genuine local ads on real radio vs. profoundly dumb streaming-era tech world ads.
