That's bull****. Many, if not most, broadcast stations use no

Your statement is factually incorrect regarding equalization, though
the factors you mentioned certainly do affect sound quality and I do
not disparage them.

All AM stations use _at least_ the required NRSC equalization, and
virtually all broadcast stations, AM, FM, or TV, use multiband audio
processing, which is in itself a kind of adaptive, dynamic equalization.

And then they compress the hell out of it, and for AM overmodulate the
peaks for CB-style range enhancement.
