A popular bill will force car companies to put AM radios in vehicles at no extra charge, despite decreasing interest from drivers and potential electromagnetic interference.
I’m a radio enthusiast. I like listening to it at night because you can pick up stuff from thousands of miles away. When the ionosphere is higher and stronger. Especially camping out in the middle of nowhere.
If AM broadcasts lose listeners due to the bands removal from vehicles, they will also likely lose income from marketing and other revenue streams. I assume AM radio is already in a precarious entertainment space and doubt they want more risk.
While I agree with the sentiment, AM radio is also used for emergency broadcasts and other forms of communication. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Fix the underlying issues.

And that’s fine. You don’t need a mandate for cars to have AM radios in order to continue doing that.
It’s not like they’re gonna put in more than the bare minimum to say they complied with the law anyway.

If right wing hate radio loses listeners, good.
