- stop50 2y ago1. Higher quality 2. The only country with widespread use of AM are the USA. All other countries use mostly FM.
- OhMeadhbh 2y agoAM in Europe is sometimes called MW (medium wave) or the equivalent in the local language. There were plenty of MW stations when I lived in France and England, but the Wikipedia says use is waning in many european countries. However, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_wave https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_wave implies several countries other than the US use AM/MW.
- stop50 2y ago> Many countries have switched off most of their MW transmitters in the 2010s due to cost-cutting and low usage of MW by the listeners. Among those are Germany, France, Russia, Poland, Sweden, the Benelux, Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia and most of the Balkans.
- OhMeadhbh 2y agoSure, but there are other countries in the world besides Germany, France, Russia, Poland, Sweden, the Benelux, Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia and most of the Balkans.
