So we have a cabin out near Fernie, and would like to be able to listen to Flames games on the Calgary Fan 960 station. I have an old Sony boombox that picks up the signal half the time, but want something more reliable.

Yes, satellite radio would do this. No, I don't want to spend $15/month to catch the odd game.

Is there anything such as an amplified AM radio? Rabbit ears for the radio? Anyone tried one that worked?Thanks.

EDIT

Range would hopefully be ~$100 or less. Also, would likely need a radio that would receive the signal from such an external antenna. Nothing too great, but with a couple decent speakers that would play the local FM radio station in decent quality.
