This could be annoying news to those who like listening to old-school AM radio while driving, be it a leisurely trip or frantic commute. For its large and loyal audience, AM radio has long been the home of talk shows, interesting overnight programming, alternative music, sports, call-in advice, politics and other intriguing fare.
