This Verizon Moto e is a CDMA handset. The good news is that Net10 supports CDMA as well as GSM technologies. Yes, this Moto e will work with Net10 service.

Smooth.

There are number of variables associated with reception distance including broadcast power, receiver sensitivity, broadcast interference, physical obstacles, solar activity, weather, etc. To keep things simple though FM stations are considered line of sight so the fewer obstacles between the broadcast antenna and the receiver, the better the reception. Have you ever tried to listen to an FM station in a retail store? Not good! The net of this is that the curvature of the Earth is the ultimate source of FM blocking so the practical maximum distance for FM broadcasts is 90-100 miles under ideal conditions.

AM is a completely different animal though still subject to the previously stated radio reception variables. High powered (50,000 watts maximum in the U.S.) AM stations are commonly heard 500 to 1,000 miles away at night when conditions are good and sometimes even go significantly farther. This is because a portion of the original AM signal is reflected back to earth by the ionosphere and so is not limited to line of sight reception.

Weather stations in the U.S. are an extension of the FM band and therefore share the distance limitations of their other family members.

No TV sound on this machine. In the olden days, TV broadcasts used analog frequency modulation (FM) transmission and so capturing TV sound on the radio wasn't too difficult. With the digitization of TV signals now, a radio would require a completely separate tuner (technically very possible) but beyond the design and marketing scope of this small and inexpensive radio.
