WASHINGTON, D.C. — What would happen if AM radio were to disappear from all radio vehicles? For the President of midwestern licensee Woof Boom Radio, it all comes down to access. From diversity that includes a Black Gospel station in Indianapolis to providing emergency information in Anderson, Ind., Jerry Chapman shared to key U.S. House of Representatives Members why AM radio matters.
Chapman wasn’t alone in explaining at a House Energy & Commerce Subcommittee on Communications and Technology Hearing held Tuesday as to why AM radio, based on its technical attributes, is essential to the nation’s Emergency Alert System.
Yet, a representative of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation wasn’t exactly keen on ensuring AM radio’s survival, based on his statements.
