You have it backwards here. Signals are always easier to get at night. No interference from the sun.

True as far as it goes but... Have you ever read the license terms on a broadcast station... A station that is say 10,000 watts in the day might cut back to 1,000 at night (Numbers out of thin air intended to represent only not be exact).

And thus though there is less interference, there is also less signal.

There are other factors too, but that's the only one I wish to type about this morning.

tom is correct.. Thats AM Broadcast only when they are protecting out of local market co-channel stations. It doesn't apply to TV or FM, although there are rare exceptions that still shut down late at night.
