Funny how not one station in the market has made an FCC complaint,

Plenty of people are talking about it. Perhaps the problem is that no
one is listening.

Describe a couple of these supposedly plentiful cases of NYC stations
being
interferred with inside their interference free contours.

You can't because there are no cases.

The mere fact that the ratings, which came out 15 minutes ago, show no
changes in listening levels in the NY market, disproves your point.

This reminds me the argument we had where you posted that I had to be
lying about the signal strength of stations I was receiving on AMBCB.

You ever make it up this way with a portable radio?

Again, simply: Inside the 10 mv/m contour for AM and the 64 dbu contour for
FM is where about 95% of all listening takes place, irrespective of whether
the areas beyond the contour are highly populated or rural. Listeners do no
tune to weak signals.

The fact that you can hear a station does not mean any local listeners will
tune to it. That is because what may be easy for you to tune, and of
acceptable strength, is not for nearly everyone else. Whether it is New York
or Florida or Texas or Puerto Rico, carefully tabulated diary returns show
where listening takes place, and it is almost entirely inside the named
contours.
