I read that some auto makers are looking to remove AM radio from new vehicles

apparently a bill has been put forth to force them to keep AM radio, doing an FM simulcast will give the station cover until that happens and/or if the bill doesn't pass.

as for why Audacy, who owns the station, did this...no idea. but now I'll need to find a new station for my last preset

Why do you hate me, Sammich?

There's no way Republicans are going to let AM radio go away. *

They also said that it's to improve reception downtown

around and inside the tall buildings with increased shadowing, other RF interference, etc., etc. where the signal tends to drop out.

I'd guess it's not just trying to drive the sports radio audience, but also for Cubs games.

I mean, that's an old reason/excuse: but with satellite radio, etc., is that necessary today? *

I don't have a satellite radio, so I don't know the answer to that part of the question.

I'd guess that there are a lot of people in that 35-54 demographic who can't or won't stream audio

in their cars, so they want to keep as many radio listeners as possible.

The rights issues of streaming the Cubs games might also play into it. I don't know if the Cubs games are on the audio stream for the Score.
