I suspect that you are like me in that you like to listen to conservative talk radio,i.e. Rush,Savage, etc. I finally found that my smart phone is the best AM radio. I use "Tune in Radio" and "Iheartradio" apps for listening to AM stations from around the country. When out working I use earphones that also double as hearing protection devices. You can also receive podcasts of past shows from Mark Levine, Rush, etc. In the bedroom I use a Grace Digital Radio for stations. The only drawback is that you will use a little data on your plan. Streaming audio doesn't really use that much data. Give it a try.....
If your looking for an emergency radio I would go with the C. Crane company suggestions.
I do this too. I like to listen to AM talk radio for my commute, but unfortunately the geography of my drive blocks the station. My previous car radio could pick it ok, my current one does not. I use iheart radio to stream it instead. I was initally concerned about data usage, but it is not that bad. I stream 40-50 hrs a month and it uses 2GB or less. Works out to about 40-50MB per hour. My wife and I have a 10GB plan, we never even come close.
