Arizona broadcasters back AM radio as Congress weighs car mandate
Original: Arizona broadcasters back AM frequencies as Congress debates mandate for autos
Arizona broadcasters are publicly supporting the preservation of AM radio as Congress debates whether to require automakers to keep AM tuners in new vehicles. Local stations argue AM remains a vital channel for emergency alerts, especially in rural areas, while some carmakers have moved to drop the technology from electric vehicles, prompting federal lawmakers to consider a mandate.
Why now: Congress is actively debating legislation that would require automakers to keep AM radio in new cars, and broadcasters are lobbying to keep it.
