Well, we got lots to get to this hour. Oh, you know, today is June 6th.

Today's the day to begin the hearings in Congress on AM radio.

The House Communications and Technology Subcommittee will begin the hearings today to examine the role of AM radio following reports that it may be removed in certain vehicles.

Well, first of all, you know, you hear all, there was an article I read.

I've told you about this.

I read this article, and it's in a big trade magazine, that radio is dying.

And it's from the June 1966 issue.

So this has been going on for a long time.

Somebody also sent me a newspaper article about how this is the end

of radio people are going to listen to radio anymore it's from 1948 they were writing this because

television was coming along so this has been going on forever and once in a while you get these

people oh it listens to a m radio i don't know anybody that listens to AM radio. Well, it's 83 million

people every month, 63 million every day. That's a lot more than anything else. You know,
