Looking at the FCC database,it appears that an STA was recently filled for 1110 AM to take it silent.(Financial reasons).

I'm a little surprised they've stayed on the air this long.

Shows when the last time I listened to AM was... I thought JML went off a while back.

There also seem to be some otherwise healthy AM stations that seem to be operating at low power. Part of it is the hot and or dry weather reducing the signals. I'll get the FIM-41 out and check.

Putting 2 and 2 together, it looks like WJML 1110 may be trying to pair with WFDX (originally WAIR) 92.5 again. Rick Stone originally owned WAIR with WJML. A translator in Petoskey for WFDX was recently cancelled. WFDX might go for a booster again in Petoskey while they try again to get another translator, which could cover a much larger area paired with WJML. All speculation.

It's not a perfect signal, but it makes perfect sense for 92.5 to become "JML, The Music Station" with Classic Hits. Nobody up north likes anything new, so it's probably the ideal place to bring back something old. I'd make sure the jingles and liners are damn close to the originals, and program classic hits better than the competition. I am surprised Rick Stone never considered the idea... perhaps he did. Who knows?

"Nine Two Five JML" (sung to legacy melody), "and AM Eleven" (voice).

It would seem to me,that if Blarney Stone Broadcasting were to program 92.5 they would air all sports-0r use it for a repeater for Wqon.

Would be nice if they aired a classic country,americana format such as WHAY in Kentucky.(a station I've been really grovin lately on my tune in app.

Yes,both 1210 AM and 101.1 in TC are both still airing an all sports format.
