Best Answer

The basic reason is that AM radio is broadcast on a lower frequency, while FM is broadcast on a higher frequency. And the lower frequency signals will curve around the earth a bit more than the higher frequency FM signals. FM is considered more "line of sight" than AM, which has that "fat" ground wave that hugs the earth a bit more.
