Is Am Radio Dead?

I didn't realize how sparse coverage was in the West until I moved out here. Once you're 5 minutes off of an interstate outside of a metro area it's pretty common still to have no signal.

Verizon and AT&T do pretty well as long as you stick to highways, though there will still be a few dead zones even on the interstates. T-Mobile is hopeless once you are 5 miles outside the suburbs of any city. My wife has T-Mobile for her work phone and there are a few dead zones in our suburb of 100,000 people.

Oh wow, didn't know there was still such a difference, I've only ever had TMobile and Mint.

I wonder if it's worth waiting for T-Mobile's satellite features, or if I should move to Verizon?
