Listen to AM radio?

[DubWolf 16,604]

I certainly don’t  . There’s usually not a lot of options to begin with.

People sound different than on FM  .

[The Kaeya Simp 13,953]

Nothing really even to choose from for me,
I usually use FM Radio when I listen to the radio

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

Nah I only ever listen to FM radio. 

[Envy 5,998]

When I think of AM radio, I think of those awful conservative talk shows. I ain't going anywhere near AM radio.

[Cash In 21,501]

I have a few times, though I'd rather listen to any of the alternatives.

[Prospekt 10,984]

I've listened to sports that the local sports FM stations won't carry, but that's rare. Normally I just stick to FM.

Usually here it's just sports commentation if you're lucky, usually just fuck all here,
Sometimes listening to both biases will help you form an opinion,

That's usually all that usually AM radio has,
It's all repeated usually on FM here

[Dark Horse 12,799]

I don't think my radio even tunes into AM stations. 

Unless they're supposed to just be white noise? 

[Dynamo Pad 10,777]

I don't really listen to AM radio or radio stations in general. Most of the time, I'll listen to the radio if I'm out driving with my sister. As she mostly listens to Q102 - Philly's #1 Hit Music Station. Although, I never really turn the radio on if I'm out driving by myself. 

I do remember listening to the radio with my dad, whenever he turned to 93.3 WMMR - Everything that Rocks. I always enjoyed listening to that station from time to time.

Years ago, before my dad got XM radio, he would always have those talk show hosts on in the car because he liked to ridicule them. Rest assured, I've heard them all, and I'm very glad my dad got XM radio not long after Trump was "elected".

XM Radio? Is that like DAB radio or Internet Radio?
Here in Scotland DAB has only recently became popular,
we all use FM radio or Internet radio here usually because everyone has access to those, and they sound better.

[Flutterstep 46,280]

I never listen to the radio. Can’t stand all the annoying commercials. Plus you can’t replay your favourite songs.

That said, I would listen to FM. I think there’s like 3 stations on AM and they’re all talk shows that speak a different language to me.

My dad has Sirius XM. I just looked it up and it is satellite radio.

What is satellite radio?

[MangoFoalix 24,898]

no, I don't listen to AM. If I were to listen to radio, it would only be FM radio.

I don't know anything beyond the obvious (satellite). Besides that, it is a subscription service that can be used in modern cars (how many and how I don't know, I don't know much about cars).

[Phosphor 11,522]

I'll tune in to an AM station when repairing an old vacuum tube radio and such. There's a couple stations that are local, but it's not the kinda stuff I like to listen to

That's likely due to the 10kHz bandwidth of AM stations

huh...
here we all use free methods like FM and in very new cars DAB

[ChB 18,532]

Yes. In my drive to and from work, signal is too weak for me to listen to FM most of the time. I listen to AM radio for traffic/weather report, as well as sports games.

[Lord Midnight Madness 1,542]

I listen to satellite radio in my car its pretty good. I haven't listened to am in years only a few times.

[CheeryFox 23,811]

No* - but... On YT, with the "stories" that come with it--yas. 

[Mini 451]

I don't even know what the difference is between FM and AM

I don't even listen to the radio anyway

AM: Amplitude Modulation. THe amplitude (signal strength, the height of the peaks on the sine wave) of a radio wave is changed for radio transmission. AM radio became huge in the 1920s, and is still used as an alternative to FM.

FM: Frequency Modulation. The frequency (also signal strength, the number of peaks on the sine wave) of the radio wave is changed for the radio transmission. Invented in the late 1920s, it became widespread because of the better audio quality over AM. FM also uses the VHF radio band, which television also uses to this day.

[Pentium100 2,056]

There are no local AM stations where I live, but I can pick some up from far away (it's better at night). I sometimes try to listen to them, but normally I don't.

[Dreambiscuit 8,023]

I don’t listen the anything on the radio. I use my own iPod, CDs, cassettes or records, but I don’t touch over-the-air stuff.
