well, i never searched but always wanted to know why AM channels are not available in mobile phones?
1. Higher quality

2. The only country with widespread use of AM are the USA. All other countries use mostly FM.

AM in Europe is sometimes called MW (medium wave) or the equivalent in the local language. There were plenty of MW stations when I lived in France and England, but the Wikipedia says use is waning in many european countries. However, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_wave implies several countries other than the US use AM/MW.
> Many countries have switched off most of their MW transmitters in the 2010s due to cost-cutting and low usage of MW by the listeners. Among those are Germany, France, Russia, Poland, Sweden, the Benelux, Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia and most of the Balkans.
Sure, but there are other countries in the world besides Germany, France, Russia, Poland, Sweden, the Benelux, Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia and most of the Balkans.
Could have been different with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Radio_Mondiale
