WCXI shenanigans
As of 6:40a this morning, there's no doubt in my mind they are running daytime power & pattern (15,000 watts) as opposed to their nighttime power & pattern (400 watts).

Re: WCXI shenanigans
From some other reports on another board, giving them the benefit of the doubt, there might be a computer clock issue from the recent power failure, which affected much of Oakland County. I say this as the DX reports were from another station they heard that transmits from Oakland County.

Re: WCXI shenanigans
That is a definite possibility, but I think just about everyone has had power restored for a good 10 days by now.
The other thought that crossed my mind is perhaps something got screwed up in conjunction with the switch to daylight savings time, but it seems to me that sort of screw-up would cause the station to remain on night power longer than required in the early morning (as opposed to the station already being on daytime power prior to sunrise).

If no one reported it, or no one was out there that noticed, the computer clock would have been reset for 12:00 if the backup battery has run down or hasn't been replaced, each time there was a power interruption. Listeners won't know what is happening, they only know that they hear more or less "static" than usual.
There is another station in Michigan that has been on or off of full power for weeks. Yesterday, after a few days at or near full power, I checked the pattern and power change with the FIM-41, and the Day/Night FI ratio was exactly what it should be.

They have been airing Brother Stair for almost a year now 24/7 I believe. I actually heard them in Bowling Green Ohio the other day, I noticed that they were running legal ID's about every 15 minutes or so. Not sure how I listened to that yelling and screeching for so long.

Such a waste of a decent signal.
