Death of AM radio in electric vehicles!

The Ford Motor Co. plans to discontinue AM radios in most of its 2024 vehicles, according to the Detroit Free Press.

 

Since your editor spent nearly 50 years in radio news, most of it on AM radio stations, he thought it appropriate to include a story about the death of AM radios in electric vehicles.

That’s right! If you buy an EV, chances are it will not include an AM radio and according to a report by the Philadelphia Inquirer, it could put some rural areas of Pennsylvania, and likely the rest of the country at risk during severe weather—especially tornadoes.
