As a broad general rule, moving an AM broadcast transmitter, within accepted
engineering parameters, will NOT change the reception area.

In most instances, if a station needs to build a new transmitter shack, they
just build it somewhere close to the antenna, then move the transmitter
itself overnight (been there, done that, not fun).

Since there is a cable, usually coax, connecting the transmitter to the
antenna, if the length of the cable were made substantially longer, say
going from 25 ft to 2500 ft, the amount of power being delivered to the
antenna would be reduced by cable losses, and you would see some degradation
of signal. But while there are engineering workarounds for this, you might
have a problem getting the FCC to go along with them.

Changing the site of the transmitter changes the reception area of the
station.


No it doesn't.


Of course it does, don't be silly.
