Are your radio stations that FM is religious and country music and AM urban and rock and roll?

Just the opposite here. Music (top 40, oldies, etc.,) are all on FM because the sound is so much cleaner and immune to static.

AM gets sports, preachers, and talk radio, because sound quality isn’t that important.

Here in Reno the oldies station (“The River”) and the country station are very popular. I almost never listen to radio other than NPR so I don’t pay attention that much to what else is available.

Back in the Bay Area, there were a lot of Top 40 stations (either the current top 40 or top 40 hits of the past few years) and a lot of Mexican music stations. There was a great classical station whose signal got weaker over time to the point where listening to it in the car was nigh impossible, and a few oldies stations that became top 40 stations. Not a lot of great choice.

I don’t listen to AM, just FM. Each station is different. There is one FM station I used to listen to because I liked their music line up, but every other commercial was about MAGA and reinforcing conspiracy theories (“They’re coming for our guns! Come to ABC firearms for all the ammo you will ever need!”) I finally sent them an email and told them I was dumping their station because of it.

Just the opposite for me!!! Our AM stations are usually sports with a few pop stations thrown in. Our FM stations are religious, Country, Rock & Roll. I grew tired of the radio years ago, so my radio has an mp3 player included. I have a flash drive full of Blues, one full of Jazz, one full of classic rock & roll (before heavy metal). Depending on my mood of the day, I put in my flash drive preference for the day & ENJOY my drive!!!

Just the opposite here in central Texas too. Religion and talk radio are low end AM

I rarely listen to anything other than public radio. I like most programs on public, but I love Irish music most.

FM usually has many varied music genres. One station Christian talk, another country, another oldies (50/60’s) another top 40, another classic rock, another Spanish. Sometimes there are two with similar music, which is usually fairly current music.

I remember 15 years ago when my territory was the entire state of Florida and driving over to Naples was incredibly annoying regarding radio stations. I’d leave the shaking beats of Miami music and halfway across the state the West coast station would start to tune in. It must have been 5 stations of Christian and country and everything like that, and not much else.
