A bit strange considering that's the band emergency reports for road and weather conditions are broadcasted on.

It's funny that they're claiming it's because of Electric Cars. The magnetic field they create fucks with the reception. So that makes it ok to kill off the arguably more useful of the two common radio bands. Idiots. If you live in an area of the country that gets any form of bad weather, you already know how important AM radio is. Almost as important as your weather radio.

I’ll bet the investors at Starlink have played a part in this bullshit, forcing rural civilians to subscribe to that fucking new monopoly.

Well, that is true though. The tire machine at work, when I use the "turn" or rotate function which is electric, the AM goes all fuzzy. All other functions are air so no effect, On FM, zero effect.

Tesla has already said that if they wanted to keep AM radio in cars, it's completely doable. It simply requires a small amount of shielding to make a faraday cage. There's some other agenda at work here, but I haven't heard a compelling reason why yet.

The earth's magnetic field is in the process of collapsing and they don't want the goyim hearing it on their radios.

Seems like most conservative radio is on AM.

There were plenty of after market 8 track & cassette players installed back in the day. As well as CB's.

For those who want AM, they'll be a way to get it. The C. Crane company is probably developing something already.

silly because it's an inexpensive simple thing to include.

My guess is they don't want people to be able to listen to these frequency bands when the SWHTF.

I'd put it more likely that their retarded design causes interference and instead of having interns fix every car they just disabled it.

Yeah, that's where the right wing types are

Typical consumer electronics, computers especially, must be FCC Certified. This means they must face testing to ensure that they do not radiate spectral interference. So what if it's a car? I fail to see why it's magically exempt from this certification requirement once it crosses into potential (demonstrated) problem territory.

Seems to be the theory of some comment here, that the FCC turned a blind eye on EV supposedly messing up AM reception, and they'd rather remove the ability to listen to that frequency band instead of fixing the issue.

My theory is different, and I suspect it is done on purpose to remove the ability for the goyim to listen amateur broadcasters for when the shit will hit the fan.

As a ham (amateur extra) there's credibility IMO to your take. There's also a push right now to take back some premium ham spectrum in the 60m band. 60m (5 mHz) is used by many government agencies due to its global propagation characteristics. Hams get five (5) specific frequencies that we can operate on at 100W (plenty to talk nearly anywhere on that band). FCC is pushing to take back four (4) of the five and give us a 15 kHz contiguous chunk but limited to 9W ERP. The upshot of this is drastic reduction in usability for one very useful "crisis band."

Could just be money driving both this push and the phase-out of AM. Highest bidders have pushed out spectrum users before. But I do wonder if it's not more.

Thanks for that precious additional informations.
