Introduced by Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. (D-NJ) in response to automakers removing AM radio from some new vehicles. My man Pallone gets his emergency scoreboard alerts from 66 WFAN too

    It’s got good stuff mixed in with the religious snake oil sales pitch right wing wackos. It’s got local sports and usually someone playing continuous music, not always good music but not interrupted very often. But it’s mostly shit. I imagine that you could have fun with a large antenna and a fine tuner receiver. Get stuff from far away. I have a good portable radio receiver that picks up some good range. I take it camping and scan about. Soft hits of the 60s 70s and 80s stations are great

      In NYC metro area, I regularly listen to sports radio and NPR on AM. Sure, there’s other stuff too but I don’t tune into it. It’s the best place to get live Yankees broadcasts and coverage of the Giants, Mets, Jets, Nets, Knicks, Islanders, and Rangers.
