Broadcast radio will survive, cell coverage in the US is terrible.

Did you know that all iPhones have a built in FM radio tuner?  They will never activate it because it would hurt the Internet radio companies and lower data usage. Broadcasters are asking that it be turned on:

But wait!  There's more!   Didn't someone post on here that the AM/FM radio
is going away?

Not sure where I saw that but I believe it.   I suspect that the car makers
will then have you listen
to "their" stations and their advertisements ad nauseum....    Sad but
true.

Nothing like a bunch of us old fogeys bad mouthing the future....   Get off
my lawn!!!!
