Fox News radio Brian Kilmeade has challenged trump numerous times on things…. I could get some examples but as you know talk radio is kind of hard to clip and report on which is why many conservative talkers get away with saying things that are factually inaccurate on air at times….

Saving AM Radio
- Thread starter BruceB
- Start date
Once again, there's no equivalence of AM talk radio and NPR. None. There are no NPR hosts who spout their own personal opinion for the entire show, and no shows that include the host's name in the title. NPR is the American version of the BBC or CBC. Not a liberal version of talk radio.
The only challenges to Trump I've ever heard from Fox have been from those who want him to compromise less and go in a harder right direction. What does Kilmeade challenge him on that suggests that his (and the GOP's) core policies and goals are too far right and need to be moderated?
Make it less painful....born before or after...1955
IIRC, Chimp has posted a few times that he is much younger than his taste in music and other elements of his lifestyle would indicate. An "outlier" in demographic terms, an "old soul" in more positive terms.
I for one will be relieved when the zombie apocalypse comes and AM radio will be there to tell us to not get bit.
A decade or so ago, he said he was 52.
But I have no idea how many months went by before I actually had a reason to make a call on my cell phone. And there was a notice about a text message.
Exactly! Well said.
But that's a crapshoot, isn't it?
Bingo!
As I mentioned above, the newer cars, especially EV's, emit much more interference that can negatively affect AM listening. That's the main reason auto manufacturers were proposing deleting AM by just not enabling it. Without shielding, then the remaining AM listeners will be complaining that the audio is worse than usual, or the sensitivity of the reception will be reduced by having to add additional filtering, or physical shielding to keep noise to a reasonable amount.
I was sort of joking about asking Congress to pay for the additional infrastructure to make stupid AM reception work.
I get all that, and the legislation allows them to instead cover the requirement in other ways.
I was going to guess 70s
I think it's a mistake to see this legislation as anything other than politics.
In its current form, NAB leadership, especially on the radio side, is dominated by small market owners who tend to be pretty well politically connected in their communities.
If they make an ask like this to their local Congresscritters, they're going to get what they want.
I don't think passing this bill is going to "save AM" in any meaningful way. Just because AM remains available (in typically mediocre current fashion) on car radios isn't going to change the death spiral the band is in.
No amount of bragging about being there in an emergency is going to change the reality that 99.9 percent of AM stations aren't staffed 24/7 and can't do anything more after hours than relay an EAS activation that will also be heard all over the FM dial and on wireless devices.
And unless it's changed, the bill *still* had a loophole in it that allows automakers to omit AM anyway, so long as they disclose there's no AM capability on the sticker.

Or: You can lead a horse to water, you can't make him drink. I don't know anyone in radio ownership who sees this as a "save AM" bill. When the FCC wasn't willing to mandate HD radio or FM in phones, they realized their only way to survival was streaming.

If chimp wants to tell us, great. If not, that's his right, too. Let's not keep going down this road, please.
Sorry
True.
It's amazing how many conservatives are so SCARED of NPR.
Never listening to it, they assume it's like talk radio, where wacko and ill-informed hosts take pot-shots at conservatives.
Dittos. Different animals.
Oftentimes, the conservative talk host may not even graduated college, or maybe even flunked-out of high school.
