May 18, 2023, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement in support of the “AM for Every Vehicle Act” by Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Ed Markey (D-Mass.):
“AM radio in vehicles is both a critical part of the national emergency broadcast system, but it is also one of the few reliable communications tools available to reach rural America. Due to AM radio’s unique suitability for transmission over long distances and its usage for news/talk formats, AM’s presence in vehicles is as essential today as it was forty years ago.
“AM radio connects our nation and Senators Ted Cruz and Ed Markey are right to recognize through their joint introduction in the Senate of the ‘AM for Every Vehicle Act’ that auto manufacturers have a responsibility to include AM in the auto fleets of the future.”
