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 AM radio is absolutely free. They only ask that I consider patronizing their advertisers. I don’t have to if I don’t want to. Also, AM radio does not track me or gather information about me. They only ask that I continue listening if I like what they offer. With AM radio, the consumer chooses.
