The fight for the survival of AM radio is playing out not only on Capitol Hill but across America. I went deep in the heart of #Texas to give a listen. Here's my VOA News reporting: https://www.voanews.com/a/am-radio-fights-to-stay-on-car-dashboards/7202566.html
@w7voa Not that my opinion matters, but AM radio in cars should absolutely be retained. The electronics to do it is trivial. In fact the function is surely built into the radio's chip already and costs nothing.
In cars is exactly where you want AM radio. It's wonderful when driving long distances to entertain yourself with it, especially at night when faraway stations are easy to pick up.
If I found myself owning a car without it, I'd install a separate radio with AM.
@shuttersparks @w7voa I assume the cost they want to eliminate is a ferrite stick loop antenna.
