It's a shame really. Used to be lots of appointment radio on AM. Now it is mostly a wasteland.


Not specifically about the Score, but my wife bought a new car last winter. I drove around one afternoon swearing at the radio because I couldn't find the AM stations. The car doesn't have AM available.

The manufacturers claim there's some sort of interference issue with AM reception. Whether that's true doesn't matter. It's in its death throes. Even the brokered ethnic stations are going dark.

Whenever I pass a truck while listening to AM, I get mostly static until I clear the truck.

Way too deep for this board but can see most things going totally digital in the not-too-distant future, could easily see a push for free basic broadband for most mail delivery, which would likely be a cost savings.

Can also see many small package items being delivered by drones with houses having docking stations for delivery.

This of course would put an enormous burden on power and digital infrastructure and make humans quite vulnerable to power grid and cyber attacks and of course would pave the way for the expected upcoming AI takeover.
