Actually, you are wrong on several counts.

First, just the top 50 metro survey areas have 50% of the US population....
and there are 250 more rated markets. Together, the rated metro markets are
something like 82% of the US population.

8500 stations are in the top 300 metros, and there are 6,500 serving the
rest.... in other words, that 18% outside the metros is many times better
served than the metros, based on station count to population ratio.

Second, the old 1-As, two dozen in number vs. nearly 14,000 US radio
stations, have nothing in the license or the FCC rules requiring them to
serve anything other than the community or city of license.

Third, there is so little AM listening at night that the opportunity to
serve anywhere when few are listening is minimal. The 1-As were created
before TV when most radio listening was at night to non-local network
shows. Today, TV is the night medium, and there is little interest in night
radio.

There is no service of any kind unless a reasonable profit can be made.

You are a tool and a robot. I am in your so-called ''metro survey
area'' but I am way out of the coverage area of all but 2 local
stations at night, therefore I am part of the half of the population
that lives outside the suburbs.

How many people watch TV at night? How many don't? How many of those
that don't listen to the radio? How many of those listen to AM radio?

Until last night, the flamethrowers ruled the Bohemian airwaves, for
people who aren't slaves to the idiot box.
