I haven't seen much discussion about how AM gets used for local road condition or emergency communication. When you're driving and see a sign that says "TUNE TO 1610 AM" and the car has no AM receiver, what do you do?
This may be a shrinking niche, but it's potentially a last bastion of AM radio usefulness.
