Rob,
John Plimmer was right on message, as usual. There are two or three
other excellent resources:
For US stations, the FCC database is definitive and has some times of
info that the others do not. It is fairly easy to use.
http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/amq.html Their data on non-USA
stations... there for coordination purposes... is not nearly as
accurate/current as is the USA data
For US stations, again, (and Canadian) the National Radio Club AM station
log is a superb reference, listing formats and other good data. Its
published annually and available from the NRC website (google) using
Paypal.
If I had to restrict myself to one on-line source, it would be the topaz
site that John P. gave you which offers so much (explore BOTH SIDES) of
the main page. I particularly like the search of a frequency for
Call Letters using the fuzzy setting to kick up slightly misunderstood
IDs.

Hope this helps!

just speak up.... we are here to help (and be helped :>)

Rob, as far as books are
concerned for IDing MW AM stations the best for
worldwide use is the WRTH 2009 annual. It is my "bible" and
constantly by my
side. See:
http://www.wrth.com/ - its also
available from American booksellers and
online at Amazon etc.
However if you are resident in the USA you may want something more
comprehensive and there are various huge lists put out by various clubs
and
bodies - maybe someone else can help you with those addresses.
Also there are various web resources, my favourite being:
http://www.radio-locator.com/
and others like:
http://topazdesigns.com/ambc/
plus more that others might give you.
Good luck and good listening
