last time I tuned into AM radio, I got shivers with the amount of hate consistently being spouted on each station I tuned to.

I wouldn't shed a tear if all that hate suddenly vanished, but I'd rather it not be because automakers wanted to save $0.05 per vehicle.

It's true that it's largely used for spouting hate in the US. It is also used by transportation departments to share travel warnings, but I doubt that gets a whole lot of usage under normal circumstances.

If AM goes away, the hatemongers will just find another platform.
