AM Radio Still Has An Important Role In Indiana

The next new vehicle you purchase may be without AM radio.

Some Electric vehicles have already taken that route.

Indiana Senator Todd Young hopes to change that with a bill called “AM for Every Vehicle Act”.

Thursday morning it passed on to the Senate floor.

Young says AM radio plays a vital role in preserving public safety across Indiana.

It delivers important weather updates, local news, and emergency and disaster response information.

The “AM for Every Vehicle Act” would require automakers to maintain AM broadcast radio in their cars without additional cost.
