What the fuck kinda comment is this? Want freedom to choose? Don’t flip on the AM radio then. That is literally more freedom than not having the option.

AM radio has longer reach than FM and is how emergency information for interstate highway travel is communicated. Keeping it is a good thing.

Many remote areas rely on AM because it travels better.

I dare you to travel 40 years into the future and stay in an area that believes the shit they push on morning talk shows, in the woods.
