Does anyone listen to AM radio anymore?

Very occasionally. I used to regularly tune in Clear Channel stations from across the country when driving at night. These are higher-powered stations that can be heard in much of the country at night, on frequencies that the FCC keeps clear by requiring that local stations turn down their transmitters at night.
Explanation of Clear Channel stations

Boston's WBZ was a clear-channel station; it always impressed me that I could pick it up when in Maryland.

And of course, we country fans driving at night used to love WWVA out of Wheeling, WV, anywhere in the country, "With your coffee-drinking nighthawk, Lee Moore." And WCKY out of Cincinnati, with Wayne Rainey. I knew some folks way up north on James Bay, Canada, who could get WWVA. Used to be said that AM radio bounced off the ionosphere.
