FORD'S MODEL E BUSINESS WILL TURN A PROFIT FASTER THAN TESLA: CEO JIM FARLEY

Ford CEO Jim Farley discusses the automaker's EV ambitions forecasting
profitability for its Model e segment by 2026 on 'The Claman Countdown.'

Ford Motor Co. is preparing to remove AM radio in most of its "new and updated
2024 models," a report says, despite concerns from U.S. officials over Americans
losing access to safety alerts broadcast over the airwaves. 




Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood confirmed the development in a statement to the
Detroit Free Press. 

"We are transitioning from AM radio for most new and updated 2024 models," he
said. "A majority of U.S. AM stations, as well as a number of countries and
automakers globally, are modernizing radio by offering internet streaming
through mobile apps, FM, digital and satellite radio options. 

"Ford will continue to offer these alternatives for customers to hear their
favorite AM radio music, news and podcasts as we remove amplitude modulation --
the definition of AM in this case -- from most new and updated models we bring
to market," he added, noting that commercial vehicles will still retain AM radio
features because of contract language.

FOX Business has reached out to Ford for further comment. 

Last year, Ford said it was going to remove AM radio from its 2023 model year
F-150 Lightning electric trucks as "the frequencies involved in AM radio tend to
be directly affected by the electromagnetic noise in EV propulsion systems,"
according to The Wall Street Journal.

The newspaper reported in late February that seven former Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) administrators wrote to Transportation Secretary Pete
Buttigieg and a few congressional committees asking for the U.S. government to
seek assurances from automakers that AM radio will remain a feature in vehicles,
as it can deliver alerts from FEMA during natural disasters and extreme weather
events. 



"When all else fails, radio stations are often the last line of communications
that communities have," Craig Fugate, the leader of FEMA during the Obama
administration, told The Wall Street Journal.

Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., a member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science
and Transportation, penned a letter to 20 EV manufacturers in December 2022
asking about the future of AM radio in their vehicles. 

"Of the 20 companies, eight -- BMW, Ford, Mazda, Polestar, Rivian, Tesla,
Volkswagen, and Volvo -- have removed broadcast AM radio from their electric
vehicles," his office said in March, adding that Mercedes-Benz and General
Motors refused to provide individual responses. "Ten automakers -- Honda,
Hyundai, Jaguar/Land Rover, Kia, Lucid, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Stellantis, Subaru,
and Toyota -- still maintain access to broadcast AM radio in their vehicles."

Markey said "Broadcast AM radio is an essential part of our emergency alert
infrastructure, but the responses to my letter show that far too many automakers
are ignoring the critical safety benefits of AM radio. 

"Although many automakers suggested that other communication tools — such as
internet radio — could replace broadcast AM radio, in an emergency, drivers
might not have access to the internet and could miss critical safety
information," he continued. "The truth is that broadcast AM radio is
irreplaceable. As the auto industry rightfully replaces the internal combustion
engine with electric batteries, I will continue to work to ensure that
automakers maintain access to broadcast AM radio in all their vehicles."
