The example you made of KOXR is deceptive. Inland is sparsely populated
being mountainous or farmland with most people living near the coast.
It is still part of the market, as sparsely populated as it may be.

I thought the scattered few don't matter in your world.

These 16 AM stations are moderately strong to very strong. They all come
in interference free on the home and car radios. I don't put up with
noise and interference either. I'm 60 miles north of one of the big
markets. Try again.
Sorry, but extensive research on literally hundreds of thousands of
individual listeners shows that outside the 10 mv/m in medium metros and
ever greater signals in big ones, there is essentially no listening to AM
stations.

I don't know what to say about your perverted market research being
contrary to my experience. Sounds like a bunch of BS to me. You keep
saying that if a AM station does not have a strong signal then people
will not listen to it and then follow that up with there are only two or
three stations that have that signal strength. Well I have at least 16
and I'm in the northern part of one of the biggest markets so you are
wrong. I don't give a dam about any volts per mete contour maps you
imagine seeing these signals are strong and noise is not an issue
hearing any of them.

I don't have a problem getting many weaker stations either except when a
station running that digital crap covers them up.
Yeah, I can often get Kota Kinabalu on 1475... that does not mean anyone
listens to them in LA.

Listening and the ability to hear a station are very different.

If people are not listening to these strong stations it must be because
of the programming.



Please explain what you meant by:

I'm sure it's not as confusing as is commonly thought.
