Equally as short of an answer:  Many of us can receive FM fine but lose AM
due to RFI/EMI interference.  In my office WBZ 1030 is unlistenable.
1030-HD works fine most of the time.  I can receive most of the FM channels
fine and those that have HD come in great.  Therefore, if I have to listen
to WBZ, my first choice would be AM-HD when available.  When the
interference gets too severe, 103.3 HD-3.

I can imaging that it would be the same in a steel framed office building.
