It's already dead.  FM and satellite are not far behind.  With 4G and
5G wireless there is simply no reason for anyone to still use
broadcast radio: you can get all the same programming and much, much
more, streamed to your mobile device which you control using CarPlay
or Android Auto through the dashboard touch-screen.

And guess what? Your phone gets the same emergency alerts as the radio
stations do.  That excuse simply doesn't hold water any more.
