I was flipping through the channels on my car radio the other day and found nothing to listen to. No I don't have satellite or Sirius in my car. I flipped the switch to the AM radio and was surprised that most of it was "Talk radio". They had a local football game on and some guy reading some radio play on another station. I listened for a bit, it was pretty cool. Do you ever listen to the AM radio?
Sometimes I do. A few minutes of the local news on my way into work is a good way to stay current. And then there's late night "Coast to Coast AM". Sometimes I catch a half hour or an hour of that before I go to sleep.
I have not listened to AM radio in forever. I can remember listening as a kid in my Grandpa's car. I know that a lot of local sports are always broadcast on AM - but they are also on a FM station.
When I was a kid I remember listening to AM all the time. It was the only way I could hear the music. Records and 8tracks were just too expensive. We'd just wait and wait to hear our favorite songs just like the Everclear song: I'd be in bed with the radio on I would listen to it all night long Just to hear my favorite song You'd have to wait but you could hear it on the AM radio Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio

Sometimes I catch a half hour or an hour of that before I go to sleep. If I'm on the road late at night for some reason, you can't beat Coast to Coast AM. Not all of the topics interest me, but many of them really make you think. Other than that I occasionally listen to AM radio for sports or news, but I really prefer television when it comes to that.
