the support for new and old cell phones to become capable of receiving terrestrial radio is on the rise.&nbsp; As much as 81 percent of people responding to the poll said that they would be prepared to pay a small fee to have a chip fitted to cell phones that would make them capable of receiving the radio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>\u201cThe results of this survey demonstrate again a significant and growing demand for radio capable cell phones in the US,\u201d says Dennis Wharton, the executive vice president of communications for the NAB.&nbsp; \u201cWe\u2019re hopeful that as demand for this capability becomes more apparent, wireless carriers will voluntarily offer this feature or activate radio chips already in their devices.&nbsp; Radio enabled cell phones are a standard feature in much of Europe and Asia.&nbsp; From a public safety perspective alone, there is a strong case to be made for wireless carriers to also voluntarily activate radio chips in cell phones in the US.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>The NAB also drew attention to the comments made by former FCC Michael Copps last year, who following a series of weather emergencies suggested the use of FM chips in cell phones as a way of arming consumers with other ways to stay in touch during disasters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>The top two reasons people want to be able to listen to radio stations on their cell phones are local weather and music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NAB has been excited by the results of a new Harris Interactive poll that shows the
