Do ya still listen to MW band? Which MW radio station is your favourite. Mine is 981 kHz Český Impuls and 1062 kHz Country Radio 
Český Impuls for the reason they're playing Czech and Slovak songs from 60's to 80's and Country Radio for the reason I like to listen Country music Anyway, I prefer to listen FM tuner, but my radio receiver is broken and only AM tuner works, so I'm able to listen only MW band, which is pretty poorly received inside a building. Since Zbraslav and Líbeznice are pretty far from my home, the signal is able to receive outside, but inside reception is washed out 
But it's good to know that there are still MW radio stations and pretty much their count is growing. And maybe some day MW will overtake from FM and we will again return to long-distance radio reception. Did you ever receive some pirate station? How did it play?
I'm asking as radio is still a topic in being informed and entertained and there's still analogue radio broadcasting active and pretty much won't be disabled until digital radio receivers get some cheap prices down. As a matter of personal prefference, analogue signal did it better. Analogue reception is very strong as opposed to digital. Digital is lost when signal is about 50% down (and does not work at all), analogue signal still plays pretty good even in 50% reception, though with some briefly loud noise. And MW reception is (as in signal transmission length - how far it can be received from transmitter) better than FM (VSV) reception. Even with pretty low sound quality the music enjoyment is still very high, which compensates the low-quality for long-distance reception “tax” (to make it more clear - the higher frequency, the better quality signal is available, but the shorter maximum reception distance is available, which makes the FM radio stations more “local” in desired location /may be state, region or even smaller accomodations/, but MW radio stations are wider and more “global” in term of location /one transmitter can be received from very far place even abroad, in night it's pretty much bad rather than good as the reception range is much wider and two or more stations on the same frequency are now sharing the same broadcast area and it's available to receive two stations at once, which is a kind of annoying and not listenable, but in daylight, it's very good to listen hundred of kilometers far radio transmitter).
In addition, this is list of European MW transmitters:

I didn't find US MW transmitters, though...
