(Cumbria - 756 is used in the northern part of the area, 837 in the southern half. 837 was originally an opt out branded as Radio Furness)
 
MW in the USA allow you to pick up Mexico or Canada when you get tired of Yank stuff....or maybe Cuba?
I m sure Mexico & Canada have MW ,due to size of country+mountains...
 
I checked...yes plenty in Mexico and Cuba. Canada a few.Still,10 in Montréal only...

And the Caribbean. Night time radio propagation has been essential in the Caribbean music melting pot. Most places speak Spanish,plus English(jamaica) French (Martinique). If you only keep FM you lose that. Kingston would hear Cuba,Paramaribo and Fort de france... hence the mix!

And as a kid I enjoyed the same in Strasbourg (N-E France near Germany) . Got me English,Spanish ,Italian just using the dial.
Of course now we have Internet.... but it was different to pick up Belgrade or Spain at night when driving.... by chance.Rather Than taking care of googling Radio Malaga or Rabat...when driving at night. Sure very few people do it,although it s ....there!!

Here in south france Spain's MW have gone I feel stuck within France ..dab+ does not bring anything from beyond 50 kms...too bad.
