An article from Radio and Television Business Report concerning a new Bill in Congress in support of mandating all vehicle manufacturers keep AM radio in every vehicle manufactured in the United States.  This Bill has bi partisan support on both sides of the aisle and appears to have a legitimate chance of being passed by both the House and Senate this year.  You can read more about this Bill in this link.

Also, please tell your Congressmen that you want to have the option to listen to AM radio in your car in the future by getting in touch and asking for them to support the Bill.  AM radio plays an important role in areas of the country where few if any local FM signals reach rural areas.  AM signals and especially high power AM signals can reach a far greater range tthan FM signals allowing people in small towns and rural areas access to local news, information and alerts for weather and other news of importance that otherwise would not be heard.  Click here to support the National Association of Broadcasters wish to have AM radio contiinue as a viable source of news, information and weather alerts around the country and learn how to reach your own Congressman in support of this Bill.
