Yeah, but not NYC, just like the legendary WLIR (Long Island) wasn't back in the 80s, nor the equally legendary FM 106.3 in Eatontown.
OT: KRock 92.3 Is Now 1010WINS Simulcast

AM radio signals propagate in 2 ways - direct to the horizon and by bouncing off the ionosphere. This is why you can sometimes hear AM stations very far away (and usually at night). The result is that there's generally a gap between the groundwave propagation zone and the sky wave propagation zone.
New Arrivals, the 92.3 HD2 station is still live in Audacy. In the car, the signal was weak, but it is a decent station that plays newer alternative music.

As a kid growing up a Boston Celtics fan, with my little transistor radio on rainy nights I could pick up WBZ 1030 am Boston. I would listen to Hall of Fame announcer Jonny Most call those games. So yes, it's crazy how far am signals can travel.AM radio signals propagate in 2 ways - direct to the horizon and by bouncing off the ionosphere.

So now 106.3 & 106.5 is broadcast out of Neptune City and carres the only Country Rock Music in the tri-state area, I believe. When heading to AC just past Seaside Heights I can start to pick up Cat Country 107.1
Most people are streaming music with Spotify or similar apps, not listening to downloaded music. Those apps use AI recommendation engines based on your interests and listening to suggest new songs, artists, playlists, etc., so discovering new music isn't an issue. Think of the recommendation engine as your virtual DJ... You can also jump around the app just like you do the radio.

For new and alternative rock, it does not get any better than altrok, 90.5 FM HD2 from Brookdale Community College.
For hard rock, Crucial Velocity on Tuned In is great.
Also listen to KUPD out of Phoenix on Tuned In. SiriusXM turned to total crap and don't subscribe any more
If you were genuinely familiar with how it works then you wouldn't have written this.
The signal breaks up because it's out of LOS range. It can be heard at distance (sometimes) because of the ionosphere skip.
Not a huge Spotify fan and 90.5 is great (a host of former WHTG alums there), but you're just way off base on Sirius XM. So many great channels to choose from (although I'm still annoyed they moved the Loft to on-line only, since I mostly listen in the car) - I have about 30 presets and cycle through them frequently to hear interesting/cool songs ion channels that include ndie, alt, metal, R&B, punk, soul, country, big hits from every decade, pop, hip-hop, Americana, bluegrass, EDM, chill, blues, jazz, and some selected artist channels, like the Beatles, Bruce, U2, etc. And I sometimes spin through my non preset channels too. Have had it for a long time and don't understand why you say it "turned to crap" as I have barely noticed any changes other than a few channel changes.
The graphic nicely illustrates the concept of LOS, but you have to admit, it's funny to imagine we have towers that are about 2500 miles high (if that graphic were drawn to scale)...AM radio signals propagate in 2 ways - direct to the horizon and by bouncing off the ionosphere.

To each their own. What I find on TuneIn Radio is far superior to what I listened to on SiriusXM.
The problem with all the Sirius channels is that their playlists are too short. Bluesville was the only real exception.
Yeah, Ozzy's Boneyard is a good example. Same with Faction Punk. Same thing over and over.
You can still listen to the XM online exclusive channels in the car using Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.
