Yeah MW propagation is pretty neat. For more useful info, look at the FCC list of clear channel stations (that is, the technical term, not the network brand). For clear channel stations in the middle of the US, you can usually hear them across the continental US on a good night with little effort (like WWL, WJR, KSL, and maybe KYW). https://www.fcc.gov/media/radio/am-clear-regional-local-channels

Our clear channel station is WTAM. One year I was on trip in the Ozark Mountains and I had no problem picking it up loud and clear. The station boasts that it can be heard in "38 states and half of Canada".
Radio is really interesting. I have a general class ham license. Learned a lot doing that.

Not Physics, tyranny.
The FCC demands they do it. There is nothing about physics stopping them.

Sure they could keep transmitting, but it would just make that part of the band useless for everyone.

Yep. It's hard to believe but the government actually did something useful in this regard.
