I like the idea of car companies keeping the AM radio, but I dislike the idea of the government forcing them to do it a whole lot more. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus some of us LIKE listening to AM. I don't find as much country on AM as I do oldies, which suits me fine. Like most who grew up in 60s and 70s I was... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I restored a 55 Chrysler New Yorker and went through the trouble of installing a "wonder bar" radio. (AM) The first time I tried it I only got 2 stations and they weren't worth listing to!. I never turned it on again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank DuVal Posted yesterday at 01:45 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:45 PM 650 WSM Nashville is still playing country and western as it has since it's start in 1925. 740 "Boomer Radio" in Toronto is playing music for "Boomers", most of us. Ha!😁 Sure, I can only hear them at night here in Virginia, but I do tune them in just to get away from the "we only play 50 songs of the genre we say we are, not the other great songs from the era" stations around here on FM. I do not stream in the car, or pay for satellite. 7 hours ago, Crusty Trucker said: Storm warnings, emergency road conditions, disaster information, country music... Storm warnings, emergency road conditions, disaster information, country music, Latin music... There, IFIFY. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Just a feature that would get talked about by the next generation of Barrett Jackson auctioneers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
