Not only do they broadcast the same crap over hundreds of stations, but the coverage areas often overlap with stations broadcasting the same 
programming and only 50 or so miles appart.  

Talk about a waste of spectrum!

Jeff, I believe that became standard practice after a law was passed 
in the late 60s.  The thinking was that simulcasting was a waste of 
spectrum space.  Of course, now we waste even more spectrum by 
broadcasting the same syndicated crap on hundreds of AM stations 
around the country.
