Poor AM/FM reception
Lots of information out there on the poor reception issue. Anyone have any ideas where to start or is there a fix out there already??

The Corvettes have an AM radio? How quaint. Static, commercials and BS.

I use my AM radio to listen to Giants baseball!
To the op, you could have your dealer check the antenna. Do you live in a rural area? My AM and FM is ok, but I'm 60 miles from most of the stations, so it's not great.

I listen to talk radio during the week. No issues. I've never used the FM

My FM reception is fine, I have never turned a station on the AM band so have no idea how good it is.

If you have a cell phone plugged into the power outlet the reception is very poor.

Honestly, in 17 months I have not tried the radio yet. I'm either listening to Pandora, Sirius or Tune-in Radio.
Obviously I do not need terrestrial radio.
