The Fate of AM Radio
Has the end of a broadcast era arrived? More EV manufacturers are leaving AM radio out of their electric vehicles -- their motors interfere with AM signal reception. Now, lawmakers on Capitol Hill want to require automakers to keep AM radio in the dash with new legislation.
In this episode of The Crisis Cast, Lissa & Thom, debate and reminisce the value of driving with AM radio through your car speakers. Their guest is our producer, Todd Manley, the former VP of Content at WGN Radio. For over a decade, Manley has been a proponent of streaming AM programming through digital channels.
