Understanding Radio Reception AM The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with each other.AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it. FM Stereo F M stereo will give you the bestsound, but FM signals will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).
