AM is too "noisy" these days.
If this was a pole,
Do I listen to TAB radio ?
No,
not anymore, ( with some exceptions ) until they fix it and as RP brought to light,
trivial commentary, overlapping etc simply "kills" the buzz of what used to be enjoyable race calling.
I had speakers wired up to every room, bathroom, laundry and always On in low volume, and a mixer for some rooms so had individual pre-set volume control, car was tuned TAB radio, that way nothing was ever missed.
That was 10 years ago till the noise interference got unbearable. When the house got painted, had to take it all down. Not worth it now, no point.
some causes of AM radio interference- Searched.

Typical noise sources include:
Overhead wires & transformers (those big “cans”) on utility poles
Computers/monitors/scanners/modems and their “wall-wart” power supplies
Wall-wart chargers of the switching type (most modern light-weight ones such as for cell phones and the like)
TV sets (especially Plasma…extremely noisy)
Fluorescent and CFL (Compact Fluorescent) light bulbs
Dimmers
Touch lamps
Auto sensing light switches (as on outdoor security lights)
AC Wired Smoke and O2 Detectors
Motors
Electric Fences
Garage Door Openers
