As a US citizen, I cannot imagine a world without FM radio. It's almost the only option for in-vehicle audio. I've heard of such a thing as AM radio, but outside of billboards stating that accident information on interstate highways is available via that frequency, I have no connection to it. I've heard pray-tell that NPR broadcasts on such frequencies as well, but I can neither confirm nor deny that.
I suspect that Clearchannel and the other one that have effectively bought up monopoly rights to the FM spectrum would fight this tooth and nail.
- an_account 10y agoAM is a great place to listen to NPR, and tons of talk shows + sports are on AM. And FM being the only option for in car audio? That's crazy. There's cell data and predownloaded music, podcast and audiobooks. Though I agree that tons of people would fight this change in America.
