Default reliable night-time AM radio stations ?

Anybody got any reliable, "always gonna hear them" AM news stations, for those long night time cross countries in the flight levels ?

No, I don't have XM radio or anything like that. ADF for me....

Thanks

There's an app for that. It's called "Plane Radio"

There is not a station that covers the entire US. Even the clear channel stations share frequencies. So, for example, WGN 720 will work well in the Illinois area, as you get out west, KDWN in Vegas will take over.
Best bet is to tune around as you fly and take notes on what stations work best for wherever you are.

It's WBAP 820 in FTW. We Bring A Program.

And I think WCCO is 830 in MSP.
