I don’t recall the details but as I understand it there was a bit going around about how modern phones actually have a built in FM radio but none of them had them enabled or accessible through the software. There was buzz of making that access mandatory but I haven’t heard anything about it for some time. My understanding is that terrestrial radio is struggling against the streaming and satellite providers. Some of the large AM stations at one point had special civil defense status. KFI 640 in LA is one of those in that it’s very high power and no other station shares its frequency. I don’t know what the civil defense status of station are now.
