Baseball Fans Rejoice, AM Radio For Every Vehicle Act Passes House - Jalopnik

The AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act, reported by RadioWorld and discussed by Jalopnik, would require that every car sold in the United States includes an AM radio. The proposal marks a rare moment when Congress appears aligned with a niche automotive media preference often associated with older “crackly” broadcast sound. The act would take effect within one year of being signed into law. The measure targets a growing trend: some automakers have removed AM receivers from certain models, especially electric vehicles, where electromagnetic interference from motors and other systems can create static on AM bands.
