There has been no widespread initiative to ban AM radio in the U.S., but its future has been a topic of discussion, especially as some automakers have considered removing AM radio from new vehicles. The reasoning behind this is often related to interference issues caused by electric vehicles (EVs), which can disrupt AM signals, as well as the fact that many people now consume radio content via digital platforms.

However, there has been significant pushback against the idea of removing AM radio. Supporters argue that AM radio is still vital for emergency broadcasts, especially in rural areas where other communication methods might not be reliable. In response to these concerns, some lawmakers have advocated for the preservation of AM radio in vehicles, citing its importance for public safety.

So, while there's been talk about its relevance in modern vehicles, there is no active movement or legislation aimed at banning AM radio altogether. Instead, the conversation is more about how it fits into the evolving landscape of technology and communication.
