The AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act supporters grows with each passing day in the eleventh hour of the 118th Congress. On the subject of AM’s value in an emergency, North Carolina Association of Fire Chiefs President Joey Webb Sr. took a stand the bill by discussing his experience with AM radio as Waynesville, NC, Fire Department Chief. Webb wrote, “In September, over a million people were without power and cell service when Hurricane Helene hit North Carolina, but that did not stop broadcasters at WWNC, an AM radio station in Asheville, from staying on-air to keep their community connected and to serve as a ‘proxy dispatch service’ for their listeners." “Despite its essential role in our nation’s Emergency Alert System, some auto manufacturers have discussed removing AM radio from new models. This would be a dangerous decision,” he adds. The NUL and Chief Webb’s support comes as part of a full-force, last-ditch effort to get the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act passed.
