That's not even close to being true. More than 30 years ago, a colleague 
who was Chief Engineer at WLS, a 50kW clear channel station licensed to 
Chicago with a transmitter site SW of the city center, found that his 
station could not be heard through the noise in Ford vehicles in the 
northern parts of the city. Noise conditions are FAR worse today.

Growing up in WV in the '50s, our NBC radio affiliate was WLW, a 50kW 
clear channel station on 700 kHz, 125 miles away.
