The lone Republican on the Federal Communications Commission, Ajit Pai believes it can. A recent article in The New York Times details Pai’s quest to save AM radio which includes eliminating outdated regulations and examining  HD Radio. The article also discusses AM’s struggle with the threat of interference from smartphones and consumer electronics which reduce many of the stations to static.

“Nearly every recently manufactured electronic consumer product — not just proliferating smartphones but televisions, home air-conditioning systems, refrigerators, computers and even energy-saving fluorescent light bulbs — emits radio signals that can interfere with AM broadcasts.”

All of these factors have caused the number of AM listeners to sink to historic lows, but Pai is determined to put the revival of AM radio high on the F.C.C.’s agenda.
