Conservatives say liberals want to kill talk radio. But there’s plenty else on the AM dial – much of it essential

I love how people here ignore that most government notifications about emergencies is over AM radio.

Who needs to be notified about sudden storms/tornados/accidents/AMBER Alerts while they drive the US? /s

Does that mean you have to be on AM radio to hear about emergencies? That's real stupid, I honestly forgot AM radio existed, why not just broadcast to FM?

Yes you would have to be listening to an AM station. I almost never listen to the radio, but when I do it is an FM station. The EBS breaks into that when any emergency arises.
