AM Radio

AM Radio. Some will say that AM Radio has the largest audience of any media platform. Some are asking if it will survive in the future. There have been some headlines that a few car companies will no longer offer it. Tesla says the AM frequency interferes with the battery operations so Tesla's do not have AM Radio.  If you listen to AM Radio does that mean you are old? I listen to it a lot, mostly 770 AM. My kids will always insist on changing it when they are in the car. I guess that means I am old.

The news & sports stations: 1010, 660 & 880. I don't recognize it as a factor of age. ... or does not mean age is not a factor ..... .

All I'll say is that 1010 Wins always gave me a headache :)

Most of the sport radio and even news like 1010 have duplicate broadcasts on FM now. The big desire for AM frequency is in time of emergencies. You can pick it up much further away without the need for a large antenna. I remember listening to my hand held battery operated portable am radio at my sleep away camp in Rhode Island and often being able to catch some NY channels. No way with FM.
