This is pretty much the same in America and everywhere else I would presume. The audio quality of AM frequencies is not that good, so it's perfect for news and talk shows.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Holy shit! A 6 year old necro!
Well, in the Oslo area, there's still a few local radio stations on the FM band that I listen to while in my car, but my radio listening has taken a steep dive the last years as I don't have a DAB radio.

We are still FM/AM here in the states with the rich kids just having to have something better so they get satellite radio.
What's this alternative 🤔 to FM you speak of? I have never heard a peep about it.

Interestingly, satellite radio never took off here. We have AM/FM radio, or people just stream things like Spotify or podcasts.

That's what most do here, stream Spotify or just run the radio. Other than Bluetooth for connecting the phone I can't see anything else I would want from a radio in the car. 🤨
