Well, I'm 600 miles away and I don't have any trouble hearing it. I'd
actually like to hear the Mexicans for a change.

Why don't you try listening to KNBR and KGO some evenings, and listen to
them get callers from all over the Western US? You take a local scenario,
which is the situation of KFI probably within a 100 mile radius of LA, and
try to apply it across the board.

No, I checked KFI in early evening (post sunset and prior to the CST sign
offs of the Cd. Juárez and Parral stations) in locations from the Palm
Springs area to Phoenix to Prescott, AZ, in the last two weeks, and while
the Mexican stations are on, listening to KFI is unpleasant to unbearable.

The fact that KGO and KNBR get calls means nothing more than that they have
a few dozen listeners outside their groundwave coverage areas. They
certainly don't have enough to show up in the ratings anywhere else.

How else am I going to listen to Dr. Bill Wattenburg but tune in KGO?

There's this newfangled device called a computer....

Seriously, KGO even has podcasts of most shows, as well as the stream.

It is my preference to listen using the radio. I already spend enough
time listening/watching news web casts.

Think of all the digital artifacts you are missing.

Heck, the web casts are bad enough with video and audio artifacts
aplenty. I sure don't want my radio sounding like that.

Going from a shirt-pocket radio to a PC connected to two grids is easier
how?

You do what I do. Stream it then housecast it via one of the many available
home AM or FM transmitters. Then you can use your shirt-pocket radio
anywhere on your property.

95% of my radio listening is done this way now. I get the content *I*
choose from anywhere in the world, anywhere in my house. I'm no longer
limited to local stations, but still have the convenience of a portable
radio.

Best of both worlds.
