Really? I only listen to the radio in my car. But I don't listen to AM radio, so I don't really care about this.I cant remember the last time I had a radio on in a car.
There's nothing there but talk radio, mostly fundamentalist christian, or right wing wacko/conspiracy/nutjob stuff.I almost always use radio. Never am though. I should scan the dial some time and see if there's anything good.

Might be good to listen when you're having trouble getting asleep.
When I was in a rental with Sirius XM it was a challenge to find anything good on the radio. Plus there's too much time when something other than music is coming out, be it people talking or ads.I listen to the radio all the time. Much easier than trying to use a streaming option, even with Android Auto support. Don't like the song? Turn the nob for something instantly different.
The biggest issue I see with dropping AM radio is limited airspace on FM in major metro areas. I wonder if the FCC could somehow expand FM bands to accommodate more stations.
I had a truck once with am only radio, and I found a cool bigband jazz station I could get pretty much everywhere I traveled. I was super happy with that, so they of course changed formats literally a week after I found it :^D I forget what it changed to, but it wasn't anything I was interested in.There's nothing there but talk radio, mostly fundamentalist christian, or right wing wacko/conspiracy/nutjob stuff.

No DAB? That has good quality and seems to have room for a bazillion stations.I listen to the radio all the time. Much easier than trying to use a streaming option, even with Android Auto support. Don't like the song? Turn the nob for something instantly different.

We don't have that in the U.S. We do have satellite radio, do you have that? Its a much higher fidelity radio with tons of stations but you have to pay a monthly fee for it and you have to have a special receiver in your vehicle to get it.No DAB?

No idea about the satellite radio, although I can't see Brits paying for radio. I've never heard about it.We don't have that in the U.S. We do have satellite radio, do you have that?

DAB digital radio is a terrestrial-based system, which means the services are broadcast on a number of multiplexes across the country with capacity for a certain number of services. These multiplexes are broadcast in different areas/regions via many transmitters across the UK. For DAB, the selection of stations you receive will depend on where you live. DAB radio is free to listen to.
Satellite radio is a digital radio signal that is broadcast by a communications satellite, which tends to cover a wider geographical range than terrestrial radio signals. However this service is often subscription based and consumers have to pay to listen to it. In areas with a relatively high population density, it is easier and less expensive to reach the bulk of the population with terrestrial broadcasts. Thus in the UK and elsewhere in the world, we have focused on DAB rather than satellite radio.
