Bad News for the Long Overnight Drives


Ford is dumping AM radio from the 2024 Mustangs.  Article at Road & Track.

Bad move.  As the one over-the-horizon band in common use in the U.S., AM radio is key to getting the news out here in fly-over country.  (note: this post also gets the 'hurricane' tag)  Too bad the move to digital on the band was screwed up so badly 20 years ago, but here we are, and Archaic Modulation is what we are still stuck with.  Suck it up Ford, this is the real world, and until we sort out something better on medium wave between 530–1700 kHz, AM is what we have.

First the return of the 4-cylinder, then an electric SUV "Mustang," and now this.  Yeesh.  What next, a "Vegan Edition"?
