On The Dial: AM FM radios are disappearing from cars; Millsy naked for 2DayFM
AM FM radios are disappearing from cars
In what has to be a world first, Kurt Hanson’s Radio & Internet News has reported that a new GM car has just been released in the US which features a dash screen with Pandora, apps, disc player and a USB port but NO AM FM radio.
In actual fact the AM FM radio has been relegated to the second screen and takes the ‘back seat‘ to other audio options. What’s more, it’s hard to locate the radio and there is no actual physical radio buttons surrounding the screen.
The writer, Steve Goldstein from Sage Communications did point out that there was nothing intuitive about the screen; it was hard to use and he doubted whether his parents, his wife or even his tech-savvy kids would be able to operate it. The buttons are small and the menu complicated, so it seems it’s more promotion for GM’s partners rather than what the driver actually wants.

Lund was led blindfolded into a colonic irrigation facility and then told to perform a procedure on his friend.
Colonic virgin Millsy said: “It’s good for my health.”
