The fight to keep AM radio in new vehicle models continues as Congress has yet to vote on the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act. Buck Sexton believes it’s a vital piece of legislation.
During The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, Sexton shared a personal story of how the band continues to be a useful medium for him.
“I get a lot of my important news and information driving. I’m down here in Florida and I listen to the various AM stations and I just can’t imagine not having AM radio in my car,” said Sexton. “No other platform is as reliable as AM radio in South Florida. We got to worry about extreme weather.”
Travis concurred, noting that he also must be weary of severe weather, including tornadoes, and hoped that “House and Senate leadership will bring this up for a vote,” sooner rather than later to ensure that AM remains a viable platform.
While the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act has received widespread, bipartisan support in both chambers of Congress, it has yet to be put to a vote. Some lawmakers have expressed interest in changing certain aspects of the bill before putting it to a vote.
