“There have been rumors about phasing out AM and eventually FM radio in the U.S. I don’t see any immediate action on this but keep it in mind. There is still time to enjoy the benefits of AM radio.”
Pleasantly Read
Yes, Rich Powers, it was a pleasant read.
There is only one statement that I would like to build upon… the writer said that most radio listening is done in motor vehicles, but I would add that radio listening in and around the home and even the office is a much more enjoyable and freeing experience than watching a TV wall or balancing a laptop staring numbly into a screen.

But six blocks later all I hear is buzzing, and there are no local stations worth re-tuning.
Be that as it may, I also want to revise my earlier description of people involved with laptops…
Fact is, if not downloading audio on the computer, it is perfectly possible to dabble on a laptop while listening to a nearby radio.
Radio is what it’s all about.
And if need be, you could
And if need be, you could listen to audio on the laptop while repairing a broken radio.
Radio is what it’s all about.
