AM Radio Replacement

I listen to CBC Radio every morning on my Google Home (or Nest Home now, I suppose). Works great as long as any kind of wifi can reach it. Streaming for a radio quality signal doesn't use a lot of bandwidth so it can work as long as the wifi isn't super marginal. Bluetooth speaker and your phone can also work if you have data out there.

If FM is in range, that might also be an option. I doubt it's going away.

(It honestly surprises me to hear about AM sometimes. I guess it's healthier in other markets but here in NB it's pretty much dead.)

YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!
Will dashboard AM radio be saved? Bipartisan bill would require automakers to keep it in new cars

Congress deciding to keep a technology in forced use only because lobbyists are paying them bribe money (sorry, "campaign donations") is not something to cheer about. This is the anthesis of the free market they claim to love so much.

AM is dying because fewer people use it every year, and it's now at a critical mass where car companies realize they don't have to bother with it and it's not a problem for most of their market.

What's next, getting them to force SiriusXM installations as well?
