Yeah, I notice a pattern.  All these stations are clear channel blowtorches with
a ton of heritage, sports play by play and 16-18 minute spotloads per hour.
Outside of these, and a few other large markets, AM does diddly squat around the
country.  I agree that these stations do very well, but they are the exceptions,
not the rule.
