“The AM radio system has always been the backbone of the Emergency Alert System. Cell service is one of the first things to go down.”
WASHINGTON, DC, DC, UNITED STATES, August 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — The National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) Association and NRB President & CEO, Troy A. Miller, participated in media interviews for the month of July to highlight the importance of preserving AM radio—a critical platform to broadcast messages of faith, freedom, and family to millions across the country. Miller is the leading voice in the national conversation on the AM for Every Vehicle Act on his latest media tour in Washington, DC.
His continued mission to the Halls of Congress is to advocate for the passage of the bipartisan AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act of 2025. Featured here are Miller’s latest news hits that span across the nation’s most important communities, the very heartland of America.
Featured Interviews:
Troy A. Miller, president & CEO of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), recently spoke with Tony Perkins on “Washington Watch,” in an interview at SoConCon 2025, about whether defunding public radio is putting the nation at risk. They also discussed the status of the AM for Every Vehicle Act.
“PBS’s funding is not going to hurt the Emergency Alert System, but losing AM radio will,” Miller said. “The AM radio system has always been the backbone of the Emergency Alert System. … We’ve seen, in some of the recent disasters, cell service is one of the first things to go down.”
Miller continued: “Cars are one of the most regulated things in America, … so this is not anything new. … We’ve asked for a 10-year sunset on this to give the stations a chance to manage.”
On the “Liberty Spenders” podcast with Kristen and Kurt Luidhardt, Miller explained how Christian communicators—from CEOs to podcasters—can shape culture, defend free speech, and build a values-driven economy. He shared how NRB is confronting threats like IRS overreach and FCC mandates, why faith-aligned voices are needed now more than ever, and how the NRB Convention benefits these voices.
“Networking is the number one reason people come to NRB,” Miller said. “If you’re a podcaster, you can come to NRB, set up, and get twenty-five, thirty interviews in four days. …If you’re just an audience member and a listener of any form of Christian media, then this is the place to go, because you’re probably going to meet your favorite pastor, radio host, [or] Hollywood Christian celebrity there.”
He continued: “God has really blessed us with a spirit of unity. Everybody understands it’s all about the Gospel. We don’t try to tell you what to do in ministry. That’s not our job. God has called you to something in ministry. Our job is to make sure the roads are plowed and as smooth as possible for you to do it.”
Troy A. Miller took to Capitol Hill to advocate for the passage of the bipartisan AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act of 2025. In a piece titled, “Religious Broadcasters Step Up Effort To Secure AM Radio In All Vehicles,” Inside Radio covered NRB’s advocacy efforts for AM radio: “At the 2024 NRB International Christian Media Convention, President Trump used his appearance to throw his support behind ensuring AM remains in vehicles. … The biggest challenge for the radio industry may be legislative inertia, not support for the proposed AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act. … The list of supporters in the House currently sits … well more than the majority needed to pass it.”
Dove TV “Focus Today” to talk about the push to get the AM radio bill passed.
“A lot of people in America still depend on AM radio, especially rural America, for their news and talk, Christian teaching, and for Christian music,” Miller said.

“AM radio reaches over 80 million people on a daily basis,” Miller said. “But the biggest thing is, AM radio is free, over-the-air radio for people to tune into at their own will.”
On WAVA’s “The Drive Home” with Greg Seltz, Miller explained the politics behind the issue and why people want to remove AM radio from cars in the first place.
“Right now, top programming on AM radio is Christian talk and teach [and] conservative programming,” Miller said. “We’re not asking for any special treatment. We just want the playing field to be fair and equal. And we really think this is a consumer issue too. They should have the option for free, over-the-air radio.”
