FM was really a big advantage and cost. The AM HiDef should be installed in all new cars. Most people are going to XM or SAT. Radio. Ipod, CD’s. The added cost to the radio is nothing! The advertisers could anti-up.

I mean what the heck, it was a novelty in its day, but no one bothers to listen to it anymore. Most have GPS and other means of communication while on the road.

Plus AM radio is going Hi-Def, has been for some time now, but no one wants to spend the money for a new AM radio.
If this is approved, there is the cost and then there will be the cost again when everyone is forced to buy Hi-Def radios.
Or will the government shell out more money for adapters for old AM radios to receive Hi-Def radio on their old sets like they did with the TV switch?

Forget it!
Its a waste of money!
