Re: The Battle of the 98.7's

Back in the day of shortwave broadcasting I think WNOR was playing rock on shortwave........ You're thinking about W RN O. A New Orleans shortwave station that sold airtime to paying customers, but would simulcast their FM in time slots they failed to sell. I toured the FM station and the shortwave...

Re: The Battle of the 98.7's

WNOR Norfolk, VA https://fm99.com/recently-played/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WNOR This is an unusual distance, not because it's long, rather because it's short! At least for an FM broadcast signal heard by Sporadic-E propagation. A more typical distance for FM reception by E-skip would be 1100 ...

Re: WCCO Drops CBS Newscasts

Back in the day, WJR was Detroit's long time CBS affiliate until about 1976. They used to air their own newscasts throughout the day, except for key hours, like 8am, 6pm, &pm, etc., and air CBS in the other dayparts. WJR was never a CBS O & O, but a key affiliate. CBS personnel would make regular a...

Re: WADL lands My Network TV

MyNetwork TV is garbage. I'm sure WMYD is perfectly fine with it going away. Isn't WMYD's ATSC 2.0 signal using WXYZ's RF channel in any event? It is possible Bounce or even ION will move to 20.1. Either would likely earn better ratings than MyNet. Or, as suggested above, TV20 will stay truly Indep...

Re: Toledo Power Reduction

Saw in the FCC notes that Toledo's 1560 is going to maintain their 3 watts at night (yet to hear it), keep their PSSR values, but reduce daytime power from 1500W to 1000w. What's the deal? Is the station still coming thru everyone's headsets at the Toledo Cumuli building? Or just trying to save on ...

Re: Dwayne X Riley

A very versatile fellow, some humour from time to time, some street reporting, but the one series I remember was his series "On The Skids", circa 1975, which would have been when it was part of The Detroit News.

If experiences in the UK and Australia are any indication, it has the potential to go very big.

Not as if I hope it does. Some people are losing a lot of money on it.

Re: CB Skip...it's Back

In the late spring and early summer, Sporadic-E propagation will sometimes occur. This allows for band openings on 10 meters, 6 meters, low-VHF and FM broadcast, and, more rarely, 2 meters. It is unrelated to the usual daytime skip, which occurs in the F-layer, and allows for the usual skip receptio...

Re: Partial daytime AM Band Scan during power outage in Tawas City

CKLW hasn't had a very good signal to the Northwest in 40 years or more. There are different theories as to why that is. Some say the the pattern was officially changed at some point from what it was in the late 1940s, when they went from 5 kW nondirectional to 50 kW directional. They were 5 kW non...

They have BBC World News as a sub-channel to some PBS stations, on the International Channel. No need for shortwave broadcasts to the US.
Maybe that's fine - if you never leave your living room!

Re: Need some help with a tower array

IIRC, WERB was built as a companion of the long defunct WBRB in Mount Clemens. WBRB had been started by Malrite in 1958, and WERB came a few years later (I'm not sure if Malrite owned WERB). I'm guessing that they wanted to offer a targeted service to suburban listeners, but both of their signals we...
