WLW is probably the exception vs. the rule when it comes to caring
about skywave propagation -- I would think most clear channel (lower
case) stations probably don't care anymore.  They just don't want
local interference.

That is why the FCC has not authorized IBOC (In Band Off Channel) operation at night.  They are trying now to assess if any of the stations care about their skywave coverage anymore.  I think stations like WLW which carry the "Truckin' Bozo" show for truck drivers would lose some ad revenue (truck stops, chewing tobacco, etc.) if skywave coverage was limited to any degree by adjacent channel IBOC sidebands.
