NABOB Asks CBO to Protect AM

An association of Black broadcasters urged the Congressional Black Caucus to tell auto manufacturers about the importance of AM radio to the Black community. “It is a crucial resource to maintain cultural and community ties as well as an important source of local news, weather, entertainment, religious and spiritual content every day,” said the National Association of Black-Owned Broadcasters in a letter Monday to CBC members. Removing AM from cars would be “a huge setback for AM radio stations” and “reinforce the dominance of mainstream media outlets,” NABOB said.
