Default West Coast reception of East Coast BCB's

Has anybody on the west coast, west of of the Rockies in general terms, been
able to copy any east coast powerhouse BCB's stations like WLW, KDKA, WSM,
etc.? One time a few years ago I copied WLW on the car radio at 11PM,
caught the ID and the program after the news. I seem to be limited now with
reception from the east as I'm copying more Spanish speaking stations,
either from Mexico or U.S. based stations.

By the way, is IBOC still around or did it finally die off?

When I was a kid in Phoenix the Class As had the whole country to
themselves. I could get WBZ, WLS, KDKA, WSM, KWKH, WHO, etc. just fine.
The FCC decided to destroy AM radio at night about 20 years ago.

You should be able to get KOA 850, KSL 1150 and KOKC 1520.
