I currently have that problem here with a station I used to listen to
regularly on
790 that is now totally obliterated by the daytime IBOC from 780.

No can listen no more.

I know the station itself could care less.

You are an idiot. I don't know a real broadcaster on the planet who
reacts with indifference when told his signal is getting trashed and
that he has lost a listener.

Kinda the way I see it, too. If they didn't care about losing listeners
outside their "market", then why would they give a damn about pirates?

Pirates are a concern in a specific market to the stations licensed in that
market.

Radio is a local medium, and ad sales are based on local metro ratings. Even
stations that do well in ratings in adjacent markets generally get no
benefit from this audience. An example would be KLVE, which is an LA station
(#1 or #2 there) is also in the top 5 most of the time in Riverside/San
Bernardino, but does not get any additional revenue from this out-of-metro
audience.
