NRB Members Highlight the Vital Role of AM Radio in Serving Listeners Across America

AM radio attracts an estimated 80 million listeners each month, including a large share of listeners who tune in to the AM dial to be encouraged by faithful Christian broadcasters and media ministries.

Americans especially depend on AM radio in times of emergency as the most resilient communication technology when cell towers and power lines are impacted by natural disasters. With some automakers planning to exclude AM radio from new electric vehicles, House and Senate lawmakers are currently contemplating proposals to require inclusion of AM radio receivers in all new vehicles made or imported into the United States.

NRB members can attest firsthand to the positive role AM radio plays in the lives of their listeners and how AM serves their audience in times of crisis.
