Has the end of a broadcast era arrived? More EV
manufacturers are leaving AM radio out of their electric
vehicles -- their motors interfere with AM signal reception. Now,
lawmakers on Capitol Hill want to require automakers to keep AM
radio in the dash with new legislation.
In this episode of The Crisis Cast, Lissa & Thom, debate and
reminisce the value of driving with AM radio through your car
speakers. Their guest is our producer, Todd Manley, the former VP
of Content at WGN Radio. For over a decade, Manley has been a
proponent of streaming AM programming through digital channels.
