broadcast radio is dead. It just hasn't realized it yet.
Philly radio is a prime example. One group owns most of the stations. 
The classic rock station plays the same songs by the same artists til 
the end of days. There is one rock station. Music gets pre-empted for 
sports. Too many HOT HITS stations. Commercials forever.

AM is highly susceptible to noise and dropouts - nature of the beast.

It's a little thing, but now my car has BlueTooth/Aux in, so I can 
listen to my own choices. It makes the ride pleasant.
