I didn't even realize Qualcomm removed the built in FM radio from their chips. Huh.

Or you could...ya know...just use the emergency safety features.

This is a ploy by broadcasters. Just like "think of the children!!" - they want more listeners to toss more ads at. They've been tossing this article around for a bit now, under the guise of "safety", because they are losing listeners.

What FM broadcasters don't have an internet radio presence? Arguably that's more profitable from an ads standpoint since you can get analytics about who's listening, vs FM radio where you're just broadcasting to whoever's out there.
