My response didn't sense. The play on words is AM can be use as both a type of radio as well a time, morning. PM related to time, so why do people play with a morning radio in The afternoon

I've got this! Because in the PM, because of signals skipping off of the ionosphere, you can listen to distant AM stations that you can't possibly hear in the daytime. So there is a real reason to listen to AM in the PM

Many stations used to be required to change antenna direction after certain hours. Something to do with wattage.

Has to do with interference with other stations

AM radio has numerous, frequent and interesting talk shows. Both my wife and I have AM talk show on daily, albeit different ones
