I wrote both TX Senators and my Congressman about why I thought AM radio should continue to be available in new cars. Here were the relative responses in a nutshell.

Cornyn, yes I understand but we must be mindful of not overegulating. Followed by a 2 paragraph rant about expanding internet infrastructure. What does one have to do with the other?

Cruz, thanks for your input and I will consider it if it comes up.

Latrell - I agree and I appreciate your continued input on this and other issues . It was actually a pretty well written and well considered response that actually addressed his/his camp's reasons why they agree.

I just thought the relative responses were somewhat interesting hence this post.

Here's a quick alternative...

Exactly my thought on that part of his response.

Of course.

Yes, but the overall point is that it will muzzle AM radio. Sure, some people will figure out how to get it. The vast majority will not. This is deliberate.

Scratch all that...techno-ag reminded me why they're very much needed in vehicles. Natural disasters & ROADTRIPS!!!

The man had to draw his line in the sand somewhere.

Since Rush passed, I have not had any need for AM radio.

Even then, I usually got his show on my phone.

I still remember the days when ANY radio was an option.

My dad's 77 Chevy 3/4 crew cab never had a radio while my dad drove it. It did have a/c which was optional. He considered not getting it since his previous truck did not have it. Just heat.
No power seats or windows of course. It cost a little over $7,000.

Only yankees and commies cook brisket in an oven.

So this is the straw that breaks the camel's back on overregulating, huh?

They're too busy regulating entrusting else to consider this.

Guess I'm out of touch. Is AM radio being legislated away?

Haven't listen to AM radio in 25 years. In cases of emergencies, I bet there are other ways to get the info out.

No but car manufacturers have proposed not including it going forward because EV interferes with it the signal supposedly making the am band unusable and it also cuts (minimal ) cost on the vehicle . A little bit of shielding would solve the issue . Consider what particular political leaning lives on Am radio tho. Yes, the
Conservative movement needs to adjust and adapt and they have but there are other reasons to keep it as well. Longer range broadcast for disasters and traffic and weather reports and local news for instance . The legislation would be to include am if the car has a radio as I understand it . Imo, this smells mostly of political manipulation. I will admit I am conflicted because I'm a "let the market decide" type but I like AM content . Maybe fm would fill the gap but it's only line of sight transmission. Sat based is mostly not going to provide local /regional content imo.

Also Jmo but if am radio goes away in cars then am stations will also become extinct. Rush may have almost single handedly saved AM radio and this burns leftists up to this day imo. His impact is still apparent.


Perhaps I am an outlier but I probably listen to AM during approx 50% of my drive time especially when in an urban/suburban area.

Cornyn is a waste of space. Any man who has a big old horse head is, Cornyn, Kerry, and others.

I've covered this extensively over the past year. The federal government is likely to pass legislation in the next couple of years requiring AM in cars, especially since sporting events, emergency broadcasts, and weather/farm reports are all AM radio. American carmakers already backtracked from last year's pledge to eliminate AM.

AM radio? My wife is thinking about a new car but can't find one that has a CD player. Made the mistake of suggesting a music streaming service or Sirius XM subscription and can tell you with absolute certainty that this is NOT an option.

Agreed but my intent was for this post to be more about the range of responses from the different legislators than it was the am radio issue but it seems many here were not familiar with the issue.

Good news - just because Cornyn says that is brisket does not make it so. Any Texan worth their salt knows that is not worth feeding to the dog.
