You might head over to the Radio Road forum - lots of tuner people-
"I do not have good radio reception where I live and even if I did I do not listen to the radio stations"
Lets take the first part- a tuner is like a turntable - the tt needs a good cartridge to be satisfying, and the tuner needs a good antenna -
there are lots of options and they do not all require 100+ foot high towers- see the FAQ section of AA-
Now to the second part- with a good antenna, you might find some stations that you do like - possibly
To your main question - the range is a function of the transmitters power and the terrain/weather conditions- AM is much more susceptible to weather related issues-
bear in mind 3+4=5's post- there are regulations for the airwaves - and if you are only looking for "local" in your house - you should be fine with 2-7 watts of transmitting power-
Happy Listening
