At night, why might I have difficulty hearing a Gator Radio Network broadcast but be able to pick up a Kentucky or LSU game?
It is very possible you may live in a part of the state that, at night, struggles to hear that evening’s Florida game but picks up an LSU or Kentucky game through a New Orleans or Louisville station, for instance. Basically, what you are hearing out of New Orleans and Louisville are 50,000-watt clear-channel stations. A clear-channel station is one that, at night, does not have to decrease its power. Any other station that has the same frequency (example: AM-870) must cut its power at sunset. The clear-channel station’s signal travels much further distances without interference from other stations on the same frequency.
