Is it OK to listen to AM radio in the afternoon?

Question

no one got the stupid joke

Answer 1

Yeah

Answer 2

Certainly !!!!!!... as long as you don't buy into that cheap "Air America" communism type stuff....

Besides, after the stations change power at sunset, you can hear stations you would not normally hear from across the country. I'm just below the border between Texas and the united states and can hear Chicago, New Orleans, Nashville, Denver.... and can also hear lower power stations as the ionosphere changes and moves. They come in ... go away... come back in..... It's fun to DX certain stations.

Answer 3

It's fine.  However, and maybe this is me being a radio geek but I like listening to AM radio past 8PM because a lot of the AM stations have to lower power (per FCC/CRTC regulations) which allow AM stations with "Clear Channel" (for the record, NOT the name of the media company) designations to transmit farther.

From my perspective (New York City), at night I would pull in AM stations from Montreal (cool hearing radio in French), Boston, Buffalo, NY, Washington DC, Windsor, Ontario and once in a blue moon...Chicago.

Answer 4

It is never ok to listen to any radio at any time of the day.  Those radio waves seep into your brain and twist things up. Eventually you will lose rationality and end up a frothing vegetable in some state-run madhouse.

Just wanted to warn you of that....one of my New Year's resolutions is to save unsuspecting innocents from hapless destruction.

Answer 5

Yes - to me it is a good idea.  I do it almost every weekday.  As long as you get things done that must be done.

Answer 6

Yeah why not

Answer 7

Answer 8

You will find that listening to AM radio anytime to be uplifting.

No"best Music Mix" c**p or cute he and she morning shows talking about Britanny and Paris and the like ...just... for the most part.. intelligent programming.

AM radio has become the secret home of the subversives..

Listen to KGO in the afternoon  and I am in British Columbial.

Miss Art Bell's show....

Answer 9

AM radio waves cause cancer in the afternoon, FM radio waves are safe.... ?

Are you worried about what you're listening to on AM radio?  Like talk radio?  Sean Hannity sucks and is nothing but a cheap Rush Limbaugh clone.  

There's always sports radio too on the AM side.
