I was actually reading just this morning that radio in general, and AM radio in particular, may be on its way out. Declining listener numbers due to everything being available online are making it less and less economically viable to run a transmitter.
Given that, not surprised that we're starting to see receivers becoming less common as well.
The 24 hour news channel in Philly finally took over an FM station last year. But every time I get in my wife's car, she has it tuned to the AM version, even though I switch it to the FM station each time I'm in the car. It's mind-boggling....
Just out of curiosity, does anyone here listen to AM radio still? I'm middle aged and I've only used it a handful of times in my life, and that was for live sports broadcasts maybe 10-15 years ago. I've never seen my parents use AM either, even as a kid FM had become dominant.

No, not since I was a kid and we used to listen to Redskins games on the radio. I haven’t listened to FM radio in probably 10 years.

Now that the news station has migrated to FM, no. Sports stations here migrated years ago, and no longer even have an AM version.
Yeah, pretty much a bygone era. My kids have never seen a dedicated radio or even know what AM/FM are. I'm pretty sure the Model 3 didn't have AM, and that came out 5+ years ago. Now that I think of it I'm pretty sure my kids have no idea that movies and music can come on physical objects and not just streaming.
