Congressman Neguse Sponsors AM in Every Vehicle |
|
A special THANK YOU to Congressman Joe Neguse (CD-2) for joining the AM in Every Vehicle Act this week. Broadcasters in Colorado’s 2nd District should reach out and show their appreciation to the Congressman for his support.
This now brings Colorado’s sponsors on AM in Every Vehicle to three, with Reps. Crank, Neguse and Pettersen supporting the effort to keep free radio in the automobile dashboard.
If you station isn’t airing the NAB’s AM in Every Vehicle campaign, please consider doing so in the districts where we still need support.

Strengthening Colorado's Broadcasters through Grassroots Advocacy |
|
“The CBA’s recent trip to Washington, D.C. has reinforced the critical need for Colorado’s broadcasters to remain vigilant and actively engaged as we navigate ongoing challenges. With the growing influence of Big Tech and the automotive industry’s efforts to sideline radio in vehicles, securing continued congressional and FCC support has never been more important.” |
