I didn't know anybody listened to AM radio anymore.

In my home town and surroundings a few years back there was a severe ice
storm, which took out power over a large area.  While my batteries lasted,
the only radio station on the air was one in a nearby city having a
generator, and it was on auto pilot, broadcasting the same satellite-fed
trash as all the other stations in its chain.  After several days a
local station in a nearby town staggered to its feet and was broadcasting
useful information, like where you could buy kerosene.
