The Big 810 has 10K. Big deal if it is not listenable in half the Metro. West of their towers during the day the signal is so directional it smears and is totally unlisteneable. I like some of their hosts and when I head north on the turnpike it is not listenable west of their transmitter site. What station on 810 do they have to protect to the northwest? Stations like this cannot survive. However at night they have a listenable signal from the $2 toll booth all the way into town. Go figure.

Probably a seniority thing. 580 came on long before 570, which was at first only a daytimer. 570's signal goes south, I am sure, maybe both day and night. 820 came on long before 810 WEUS did. There's also the 810 in Freeport, Bahamas, and I am not sure how protection works there; the Freeport 810 has been on the air since 1974.
There's also the Cuban Radio Reloj on 570 which is heard almost everywhere; but I don't think that it's mandatory that the US AM stations "protect" co-channel Cuban ones.

IIRC, it protects a co-channel outside Valdosta, 800 in Palatka, 810 in Freeport and 820 in the Tampa Bay area... all they can do is send the signal east.
