largest city with no AM transmitter?

[Dan.Strassberg]

Is there any AM transmitter within the city limits of Detroit? If 
there is, it must be WDTK 1400. I know that there are AM sticks in New 
York (WFAN/WCBS, WQEW), Chicago (WSBC. WNTD-D), Los Angeles (KYPA, at 
least), Philadelphia (WHAT, others?), San Francisco (KSFO, KOIT, 
KEST). OTOH, Detroit is the complex-array capital of North America 
(with Toronto a close second) and it's REALLY tough to find land for 
eight-, nine-, and ten-tower arrays in major cities. Also, unless 
complex arrays are located near the city line and send signal maxima 
across the city, they may still fail to cover the requisite 80% of the 
population at night and, even if they do, they may, because of the 
broad, deep minima, miss close-in suburbs on the side of town 
_closest_ to the transmitter.
