Plus, readers write in to tell what they love and hate about local radio.
Whether it was the threat of legislative action that would require it, or just a reaction to lobbying from government officials, listeners and buyers alike, Ford announced that it has reversed its decision to remove AM radio capabilities from some gas-powered vehicles in 2024 and through a software update will add the ability to receive AM in its 2023 electric vehicles.
Notice the year is 2024. Nothing is stated on any year further ahead, so the battle may not necessarily be over. And obviously, Ford’s decision doesn’t affect the operations of other companies — those that can’t figure out how to eliminate interference from their electric vehicles even though it doesn’t seem to be an issue with the likes of General Motors, Toyota, and now, of course, Ford.
“My comment on news radio stations, particularly morning KNX , is that they read the news too fast and don’t use proper nouns much. They usually say the proper noun of a city or person at the beginning of the story but from then on it’s just: city or he or she. Sometimes I miss the proper name and don’t know the location or who the story is referring to.
“I love K-SURF oldies. I hate the fact that when I listen to it on my car’s HD radio setting it is constantly cutting on and off all the time. Where I live, reception is always spotty. Would I tune in to a different station? Absolutely, if only they would play the 60s rock like K-SURF. There are plenty of us old boomers still around who would love to hear the 60 music being played on the radio.
