Default Help with AM Broadcaster

I'm getting lots of noise from a local broadcaster and am looking for
assistance in stopping the problem. Their freq is 1330 KHz, 5KW.
They are putting out a wideband garbled signal several channels wide
centered at 1120 KHz. There is a similar wideband hash up higher
centered at around 1490 or so, and God only knows where else. When
they play Dr. Laura on 1330, I can hear a garbled Dr. Laura all over
the band. I am about 3 miles from the station but yesterday I was
driving and could hear the trash 20 miles out on 1120. I've driven
down I-10 in both directions from the station and their noise reaches
out at least 20 miles. The station's response is that other stations
also carry Dr. Laura. Please . . . . not on a dozen channels in a
row with your station ID!

I've talked to the station manager several times and the engineer a
couple of times and even though they will talk to me and are friendly
folks, they have not fixed it. They got a new transmitter last fall
and this is when it started. I've been listening here for about 30
years and this is a new problem.

I'm going to talk with the engineer one more time and then plan to
write the FCC. If anyone has advice, please advise.

Thanks
Tom
