KGO-AM on 810 kHz makes it a point with their
Over-Night Talk-Radio Call-in Show to take Callers
from all over the West Coast from San Diego to Alaska.

Of course, but KGO does NOT want people living in San Francisco to be
listening to an out-of-town station. KMJ in Fresno also makes a point
of having listeners from all over the West Coast, but KMJ does NOT
want listeners IN Fresno to be listening to KGO or any other out-of-
town station. All the stations love people to be listening from out
of town, but NONE of the stations want people in their city to be
listening to out-of-town stations.

Same with TV. KGO-7 in San Francisco loved it when I told one of
their engineers that I was getting their signal in Clovis (Fresno).
They even offered to send me a gift (forgot what, but I think it was a
t-shirt) if I would tape it and send it to them. But do you think
KGO-7 would give someone in San Francisco a waiver so they could get
the KABC from Los Angeles on Dish Network?

It's a one-way deal with these stations.
