This has been reinforced recently for those in and around the bay area. When the power goes out in your neighborhood, or when an emergency situation is developing, it is surprisingly nice to be able to turn on an FM radio and get hourly live updates on the situation, no interaction needed. Our local stations were calling out all kinds of announcements regarding businesses that were or were not offering services, public Wi-Fi, etc.
