Troy A. Miller, president & CEO of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), joined Jeff Stein of KXEL News to discuss the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act, a bill that was recently reintroduced in the 119th Congress to preserve AM radio in the dashboard of vehicles manufactured and sold in the United States.
“This is a public safety issue, but it’s also an issue [regarding] public access to information,” Miller said.
“It has… very strong bipartisan support,” Miller said of the bill. “AM radio has a much stronger signal to reach through storms and longer distances. That’s why AM radio is still the number one method for emergency broadcasting.”
Miller added, “AM radio is the home for a lot of conservative talk, a lot of Christian talk and teach stations, and a lot of Spanish language stations.”

Miller also discussed the issue of AM Radio with Jeff Katz on Newsradio 1140 WRVA.
“The real question here is who’s going to control the dashboard in the car?” Miller said. “Is the dashboard in the car still going to receive free, over-the-air radio, and people can decide what they want to listen to? Or is the dashboard going to be controlled by a car manufacturer who’s going to make you subscribe to everything?”

Miller also recently joined Pastor Chuck Reich on Overcomers TV Live to talk about NRB’s mission and growth as well as some of the key issues for Christian communicators related to President Donald J. Trump’s first few days in office.
Recalling Trump’s remarks to the 2024 NRB International Christian Media Convention, Miller said, “He talked about pro-life issues. He talked about issues that are important to us as broadcasters, like AM radio.”
Miller highlighted the swift action taken by the Trump administration on pro-life issues during its first week, including the FACE Act pardons. Watch Miller’s full interview with Reich:
Leah Klett, assistant editor of The Christian Post, featured Miller in a spotlight article where he discussed the current media landscape, calling it the “golden age of communication,” and addressed policies impacting the rights of Christian communicators.
“Historically, government was our biggest impediment, but today, corporate America and legacy media also play significant roles,” he said.

Miller also joined Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello on his cooking show “Breaking Bread,” to discuss the work of NRB and the importance of getting the Gospel out, all while the two prepared Sicilian arancini in Monsignor Jamie’s kitchen in Brooklyn.
“Every teenager, every young adult today—they’re carrying a television. They have their phone,” Miller said. “They consume more media today than ever in the history of mankind. Christians ought to be the ones getting that message out because there’s a lot of despair in the world. The hope that Christ gives us … is a message that changes people.”
