I like AM Radio and I’ve posted this before… > [@AM radio in cars](https://community.cartalk.com/t/am-radio-in-cars/190713/10): > > I enjoy listening to talk radio. Where I live there are two stations that I enjoy listening to: NPR (abet very liberal) but they carry “Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!” and (Drum Roll Please…) “Car Talk – The Best of Car Talk” and they are on the FM Dial… and if I want to listen to this station, I have to turn the volume way up, way up… I also listen to a local AM station and they are very much on the conservative side, but they also offer none political programming, like: “Ask the Experts”, “The … AM Radio creates local jobs, It provides Local News and Journalism, It allows Local Business to target their advertisements to the Local Areas, It increase Diversity based on the Local Area, and it meets the needs of the Local Listening Area. Stations, out of Big Cities do not cater to the needs outside their normal listening area. If I listen to a station out of NYC, I’m probably not much interested in a concert at Carnegie Hall, 550-miles away…, but that same concert at Scope, 50-miles away has me buying tickets… > [@jtsanders](#): > > I seriously doubt that.

Members of Congress are still allowed to buy and sell individual stocks as long as they disclose their trades within 45 days. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.cartalk.com/t/am-radio-mandate-for-cars-seems-assured/191968)._
