As the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act continues to garner widespread support, the CEO of the largest Catholic radio network in the United States is urging congressional leaders to recognize the essential role of AM radio in both public safety and religious broadcasting. In a letter addressed to House Speaker Mike Johnson and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Relevant Radio Chairman and CEO Rev. Francis J. Hoffman emphasized AM radio’s continued importance, particularly in emergencies when other communication methods may fail. “AM Radio has served as a crucial source of information during emergencies, delivering real-time updates when other communication methods falter. In the face of hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, and power outages, AM stations continue broadcasting even when cell networks and internet services are disrupted,” Hoffman wrote. “Reducing AM Radio’s reach would put countless lives at risk in their most critical moments.” Hoffman also highlighted AM radio’s significance to Relevant Radio’s mission. The network provides faith-based content that he says is increasingly necessary in an era of cultural and spiritual decline. Hoffman stated, “Whether in times of crisis or the quiet moments of daily life, AM radio continues to be a beacon of truth, service, and faith.” Hoffman urged lawmakers to pass the legislation to ensure that AM radio remains a cornerstone of national communication infrastructure. He isn’t the only Christian broadcaster to step up to bat for the AM band recently. National Association of Religious Broadcasters CEO Troy Miller penned an op-ed for Newsmax earlier this month, saying, “At its core, this issue touches on a fundamental principle: Americans should have the freedom to access content of their choosing without corporate gatekeepers determining what they can and cannot hear. AM radio provides a platform for voices that might otherwise be marginalized by algorithm-driven digital platforms.” The Act would mandate that automakers include AM radio in all new vehicles at no additional cost, ensuring continued access to critical emergency communications, public safety alerts, and diverse programming for millions of Americans.

Just over two weeks after a total lunar eclipse, the U.S. will be dazzled by a partial solar eclipse, but Indiana won’t see it. For skywatchers in the northeastern U.S. and Canada this week, it will appear as though the moon took a bite out of the sun. The eclipse will occur in the early hours of Saturday, March 29, according to Space.com. A partial solar eclipse is when the moon comes between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on our planet without fully blocking out the sun. The moon will produce a striking crescent sun at sunrise, giving the northeastern states the best views.
The eclipse will occur between 4:50 a.m. to 8:43 a.m. ET on March 29, according to Space.com.
The solar eclipse won’t cover as much area as last year’s Great North American Eclipse, but it will be visible on the eastern horizon for the District of Columbia and 13 Northeast states: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia and West Virginia.
A partial solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, but the three bodies are not quite in line. It appears as if only a portion of the sun is covered, giving it a crescent shape.
