I'm not going to miss it. AM radio was essential to the rise of the right wing media in the US, and essential in turning politics into the festering cancer that it currently is. I used to work for the division of GM that made radios, teaching mechanics how to diagnose & repair electrical (and radio) problems. Later, I worked at a radio shop, repairing and installing radios. If your car radio broke while under warranty in South Florida, you (or your radio) were sent to our repair facility. There were 2 main groups of AM radio listeners: sports fans who listened to live sports and obnoxious "dittoheads".
