RAIN Notes: July 3
Briefly

The AM for Every Vehicle Act has been reintroduced in Congress with bipartisan support, focusing on the importance of AM radio in emergency communication. The National Association of Broadcasters underscores AM radio's vital function in providing real-time disaster information during crises. Meanwhile, Spotify celebrates the tenth anniversary of Discover Weekly, reflecting on its impact in music discovery, having featured over 100 billion tracks. The service facilitates individual music preferences and is noted for a significant number of new artist discoveries and playlist additions by users.
AM radio has long been a trusted source of emergency information, providing real-time updates when other communications platforms fail. Recent disasters like the Los Angeles wildfires and hurricanes in the southeast underscore AM radio's unique role in delivering evacuation orders, emergency alerts and recovery information under the most challenging conditions.
Discover Weekly was built to understand individual music taste and preferences in musical elements that exist within and across music genres. The experience is intended to foster both surprise and comfort, termed as unforgettable 'first listens'.
