These AM Radio Stations are Given Away

Across 2023, the importance of the preservation of AM radio has dominated the lobbying discussions on Capitol Hill led by the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB). Touting the need for access to kHz-based broadcasts in all vehicles sold in the U.S., especially in an hour of emergency, is one of the key statements associated with the NAB’s plea for Congressional legislation mandating the presence of AM and FM radio accessibility in the vehicle.

As neighboring Maui continues to recover from devastating wildfires in three parts of the island, one radio station owner is giving away two of its AM radio stations on Oah’u, reinforcing the dominance of FM radio across the Hawaiian Islands.
