    That’s not a compelling reason on its own. If there aren’t enough people listening to AM radio for a radio studio to be profitable, perhaps that radio station does not need to exist?

    Well, they are profitable now. If cars move away from AM radio to make it easier on their own EMF emitting tech, then that’s an issue.

      if only people had devices letting them tune into millions of “radio” channels anywhere that can be used through carplay or Android auto anywhere in the world with crystal clear audio…

      The US is the only place that still even offers AM much less use the ancient crap.

      If the market allows cars to not have AM radios, then obviously AM radio is not that important.

      Also, cars are not the only way to listen to the radio.
