Lemmy, how would you feel about a law that bans radio stations from playing commercials with honking/beeping/siren noises in them?

    In America it’s more likely that we ban the use of radios in cars

      No, they’ll make you pay a subscription for it.

        😂A scant $8.99/month for siren free radio 😆

        That is, for about 2 years until they add the sirens back in and offer a $21.99/month ultra premium service with no siren sounds.

        Free radio is now nothing but sirens and commercials 24/7

          I got SiriusXM for Opie and Anthony, then Ant was fired like 8 months later. I kept the subscription for another year or so. Now I just have a USB stick with all my music on it, but much to my wife’s displeasure i only listen to one band.

            On the handful of stations my wife listens to, they play the same handful of songs over and over again. It wouldn’t take a large USB stick to get better content.

          https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/325

          There’s also this:

          https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-13-2123A1.pdf

          This is not exactly about imitating police sirens, but the emergency alert system.

          I can’t speak to how well enforced this is.

        Is it enforced?
