“While many households today do not even have one FM radio (2020 survey find 68% of all Americans have at least one radio in their home)”
Wow, I find this shocking enough that I don’t believe this statistic.
a lot of phones have built in fm tuners that will work without cel service (at least mine do)
a lot of people have stereo systems or mini systems which probably have fm and am.
some people might even have cars which have fm tuners.
a lot of people might even listen to sports on a transistor radio.
maybe I just am biased cause I bought my first radio when I was around 6 or 7
Radios? Yes, who has them. I’ve got my Extra class amateur license and those radios but there are no AM or FM radios in my house.
The cell phones have an FM receiver.
My stereo system has an FM receiver.
The car has AM and FM reception (and satellite).
I have several old Watchman pocket TV sets that do both AM (picture) and FM (audio). I also have a setup in the basement to generate the old NTSC signals. The TVs still work just fine.
Have a VHS tape recorder/player and cassette deck connected to the living room TV and stereo.
I’m a dinosaur.
