A long-debated proposal to modernize AM radio licensing rules has cleared a major legislative hurdle, advancing through the House with bipartisan support. The measure aims to streamline outdated regulations that have limited the growth of AM stations, particularly in urban areas where signal interference is common. Supporters argue the changes will help stations adapt to evolving broadcast technologies while preserving local programming. The bill now moves to the Senate for further consideration, where its fate remains uncertain amid differing views on radio policy.
