Useful, basic info. Give it a watch.
Potentially listenable big-watt nighttime stations around the southeast are WWL 870 New Orleans, WSB 750 Atlanta, WHAS 840 Louisville, and WSM 650 Nashville. There are others out there, but those are the main ones that come in easily on the northern Gulf Coast. If you're looking for something closer to your place, say within 600 miles or so, Wikipedia has a list of stations around North America. It's useful to be able to set your radio on a frequency and then turn the whole thing around to perhaps sweep its antenna in the station's general direction.
Dial around for yourself one night and see what's available in your region. What, don't have an AM radio? Got a car? Radios in those usually have surprisingly good reception.
Anyway, it's a neat little video. It's funny that this was considered general knowledge for people just a few years older than I am, but is almost completely unknown to those of us who grew up in the late 70's and onward.
