You are saying that WBZ is stronger (I assume you mean "at night") in
Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Washington and Westmoreland counties of
Pennsylvania than KDKA?

Those 6 counties are the only market area that KDKA is interested in.

Similarly, I doubt that KDKA interferes with WBZ in Essex, Middlesex,
Norfolk, Plymouth, Suffolk, Worcester and Hillsborough counties, the Boston
MSA or, as you say, "market area." Since WBZ is directional westward, it's
not likely they will have any interference of significance.

Heck, every AM gets occasional interference; I recall numerous times hearing
Venezuela on 1-A Clear Channel 1100 in early evenings over WKYC (now WTAM)
even though I was about 12 miles from the WTAM transmitter. That's one of
the reasons AM has so little appeal to the generations that grew up on FM....
interference, noise, static, lousy audio quality.


" Rochester Station Says IBOC Interferes" Bob Savage, CEO, WYSL

"WYSL has filed FIVE separate pleadings including two detailed
interference studies, over a period of 19 weeks encompassing a variety
of local weather conditions, in all three antenna modes and powers,
reply pleadings to two CBS responses (notably thin on data and highly
implausible) including scores of field readings and audio recordings
on CD. All of WYSL's data is supported by engineering statements from
TWO unimpeachable professional radio engineering firms representing
many decades of experience, all submitted UNDER OATH. One of these
engineers is renowned as an experienced researcher in the development
of terrestrial digital radio. All in all, including exhibits, over 100
pages of text and measurement data were filed with the Enforcement
Bureau with copies to the Mass Media Bureau. The FCC's response to
this mountain of persuasive data? They simply ignored it."
