There are slim pickings out there on commercial SW that is TARGETED TO THE UNITED STATES. ^^^ Most if not all of those stations do not aim their transmitters towards us. So the broadcasts are not pleasant to listen to unless you like listening to static. It is nice to try to get a SWL card out of them though. I got one from Radio Havana and they had used a typewriter!
I do believe within 50 years they'll all be gone except for maybe Radio Havana Cuba. They are always 50 years behind the times.
I have been know to crank rock, country and oldies on my SX-88 with that 10 watt push-pull tube engine with bass boost, which is provided by WTWW, VOA and R. Australia sometimes. With the roof antenna outside, and a little fade refinement from the sensitivity control, it can be very nice.
I also enjoy top-of-the-hour world news by VOA, BBC, Australia, NZ, Radio China Intl. English etc. but beyond great music not obtainable here anywhere locally, and world news, little program content interests me-it actually is the fun of DXing signals around the globe. I get a charge out of that. I intentionally refuse to listen to R.Habana though I listed it, because I don't like their attitude towards my great Country. And BBC programming is a bit too liberal-leaning for my taste.
To me, the problem with SWL is that many folks either cannot do an outdoor antenna, or simply don't want to spend the money and effort it takes to be able to get those signals that are not intended for the USA. So they buy a carry-along portable and expect the radio's whip to do it all-AND do it all indoors.
Propagation has been so good that this could be done, but not often enough to hold interest.
