On one hand, fuck AM radio. All the worst right wing talk shows are there.
On the other, in the event of a crisis AM radio just keeps on trucking.

Our department of transportation gives updates over AM radio and it’s easier to do while driving vs going into the 511 app to see what’s up. And since it’s statewide it’s pretty useful. That’s the only thing I use AM for. They’ve got signs in major corridors that flash to tell you there’s a new message. Old school, but reliable.

AM is cool because you can get stuff from the other side of the world if the weather is right. I never use it though. As to RW talk on there, I didn’t know that, but we just need to make our own talk shows. We don’t have bankrollers like they do though, and are constantly stabbing each other in the back on the whispers of the RW pretending to be us, so it’s harder.
