Thank goodness the Ford Motor Co. has decided to keep A.M. radios in their vehicles!!!
I listen to A.M. all the time, and have driven Fords for 40 years!!! 😲
(I am not aiming to argue which Auto company is better!! Drive your Chevy if you must!!):cool:

I think that was the right decision too, although I listen to SiriusXM most of the time.
I think the automakers were just trying to make an extra buck or two on new cars.

Not me! I ALWAYS turn the radio off when the commercials come on.

Sounds like me watching TV with my finger poised over the mute button! I remember when I was a kid, before TV remote controls. My dad would get up out his chair and turn the volume down. Talk about a man that hated commercials!
If someone could come up with a device that attached to your TV and could automatically detect and mute commercials, they'd make a killing!

Don't you gotta PAY for Sirius? AM and FM are free!

You do, but if you call them & tell them you want to cancel your subscription, they'll keep offering it at a lower rate until you submit. I pay $6.99+ tax, for what was a $30+tax/month plan. At the end of the year, when the rate goes back up, I'll cancel again. I've been doing that since I bought my first pickup with Sirius almost 20 years ago. Sometimes, I'll have to go without Sirius for a few months, before they mail me an offer that I can't refuse, but they always do.

althoughhh...maybe if
(Warning :you are now entering Meakos brainworld) GEC launched an ad campaign along those lines...customers and flippers alike would be turned off , the knives would pile up at the warehouse and we could get them AT BARGAIN BASEMENT PRICEZZZ.! ( shouting and so fast it becomes an annoying sound blur)

That's exactly what I do! If I had to pay the full rate I'd drop the service. I've got 2 vehicles that renew at the same time. I make a call about a week before renewal, and they make the offer I can't refuse.
