Do you feel the U.S. should require automakers to provide AM radio in their vehicles, at no charge?
Choices
Poll Description

If you haven't heard the news yet about AM radio, you might never — at least not in your car.

Many automotive manufacturers have stopped supplying vehicles with the technology, claiming it interferes with electronics and that customers are tuning in less anyway.

But U.S. Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Angus King, I-Maine, say AM radio is essential, especially in rural regions. The lawmakers cite a National Association of Farm Broadcasters survey that found two-thirds of farmers listen to AM for weather forecasts and other information needed for business.

The association says AM radio reaches an estimated 82 million listeners monthly through more than 4,400 stations across the U.S.

Collins and King have signed onto legislation that would ensure manufacturers continue to provide AM reception in every new car and truck, at no charge.
