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 I pretty much only use AM to check those "when light is on tune to AM 16XX for traffic information".

My understanding is the big thing for AM is if there's ever an emergency. It's a more robust signal than FM and covers a wider area.
