Also, someone at the FCC finally sees the value of AM radio.
Leo Laporte — “The Tech Guy” — heard locally on KFI Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., announced his retirement from radio effective in December. His last live show will air Dec. 18.
Replacing Laporte will be Rich DeMuro, who will bring his podcast and KTLA-TV Morning News segment to the radio airwaves. Rich on Tech will replace “The Tech Guy” starting Jan. 7; “Best of Tech Guy” programs will air until then.At the recent convention of the National Association of Farm Broadcasting, someone — finally — spoke in support of AM radio.
Sometimes it’s not just the direct rules they make. Not enforcing existing interference rules have had a tremendously negative effect on radio reception affecting both bands, but truly hurting AM. If any product negatively affects radio reception, it is illegal according to FCC rules and regulations. Yet dimmers, some energy efficient light bulbs, cable boxes, cheap “wall-wart” power supplies, and even computers can make AM reception not only difficult, but darn-near impossible.
He called on automakers to keep AM reception available on cars and trucks as more and more electric vehicles are developed. EVs by nature cause interference, and many automakers take the easy way out by simply deleting AM from the in-car radio. Problem is, that interference can affect reception to any radio nearby as well, which would appear to make them illegal if they do so, from my understanding of the law.
