No they won't. EVERY 50,000-watt AM station is heard in "38 states." If 
they're north of the Mason-Dixon line, federal law requires them to add 
"...and half of Canada."

Actual coverage has nothing to do with this particular promotional claim. 
No station has ever claimed, in my experience, to serve "37" states, or 
"39." "38" is the Heinz 57 of clear-channel promotional lore. Unsupportable 
by fact, yet omnipresent in promos.

Undersigned suddenly writing like certain logorrheic Florida-dwelling list 
member. Must stop for night before losing ability to use articles in 
sentences in future. Possibility of multisyllabic pomposity and inscrutable 
verbosity on rise as well. Most disturbing.
