NRB members are encouraged to download and air a series of free, ready-to-use radio spots produced by the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) in support of AM radio. These spots feature well-known voices from the NRB community, including Greg Laurie, Jim Daly, and Tony Perkins, and are part of a nationwide effort to preserve access to AM radio.
Check out the National Association of Broadcasters’ (NAB) AM Radio Toolkit for broadcast-ready spots and PSA scripts that you can air on your stations or record with your station’s own voice talent.
The fight for AM radio is more than a regulatory issue—it’s a battle to preserve a vital channel for speech free of censorship. As Troy A. Miller, NRB President & CEO, recently wrote in an op-ed for Newsmax, “AM radio is not just a relic of the past. … It represents a pillar of America’s long-standing commitment to the free flow of information, ensuring that all voices can be heard without corporate interference.”
“The ‘death of radio’ narrative collapses under one statistic,” wrote Miller in a commentary for Radio Ink, “AM/FM still reaches far more Americans each week than any individual streaming‑audio or social‑media service.”
The AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act of 2025 ensures that AM radio remains in the dashboard of every car manufactured and sold in the U.S.—preserving access to critical emergency alerts, public service programming, and faith-based broadcasts that reach millions of Americans every month.
The bill has gained impressive bipartisan support, currently boasting 215 cosponsors in the House and 60 in the Senate. The bill has already advanced out of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
In an op-ed published in Radio World, Miller noted, “Every citizen, every community and every conviction has a place on the airwaves of a truly free nation. Faith-based media isn’t asking for special treatment—just fair access.”
“This is not a partisan issue,” Miller wrote. “It’s a matter of national interest and free speech. The fight for AM radio is the fight to let the free voice of every American lead the conversation.”
We urge all NRB members to join the fight for this critical cause. Download the free spots, speak up for AM radio, and help ensure that the voices of faith continue to reach listeners across the country.
