Re: Nielsen November 2023 radio ratings
It is indeed a big waste to try to cover an area as large as a whole Metro with translators, but they are going to do it anyway.

Re: Nielsen November 2023 radio ratings
I could see WCSX-HD-2 + the FM relays switching to Oldies if CKWW becomes something else next year.

Re: WJOI 97fm 1987
The old I.F. image situation. WHLS Port Huron did it to CBEF when it was on 540 where in my area (no loss for me because it was French). In Guelph, Ontario their local signal on 1460 AM must do the same thing to WGR from Buffalo. I found that portable Sony radios could ignore it because they also us...

Re: weird/weather night dxing
I heard a Florida radio station on AM for the first time in my location. It was 600 WBOB from Jacksonville. Right now, the Chicago station on 890 is missing and I'm hearing Spanish instead. At night solar flares tend to do this to the ionosphere every so often. https://www.space.com/enormous-sunspot...

Re: Sale of Windsor's CKWW in the works
One of the radio stations might play music during the daytime and have multilingual programming in the evenings. This is what CFMS in Markham does.

Re: Sale of Windsor's CKWW in the works
The possible sale has just been mentioned in the Hamilton Newspaper. If approved, Neeti P. Ray hopes to take control of the three radio stations by April. https://www.thespec.com/business/hamilton-region/change-in-the-works-for-hamilton-radio-landscape-as-toronto-broadcaster-looks-to-buy-am/article_...

Re: recommendation wanted - BASIC cheap FM radio antenna for stereo receiver
There is no threaded twist on connector for 75 ohm on the receiver. GND is the ground for coaxial cable and to other post is for the copper center of the cable. A 1:1 transformer can be used. I know they exist because a terk antenna I bought at a stores surplus dept. included one. The machine wire w...

Re: recommendation wanted - BASIC cheap FM radio antenna for stereo receiver
This antenna might work in the attic. If not, it will work outside if it's high enough. It looks like the back of the receiver has a 75 ohm connection, so some coaxial cable and a 75 ohm to 300 ohm transformer will be needed.

In New York State there will be no groundwave overlap between WTOR and WABC. Close to Dusk and Dawn WABC will be heard under WTOR in Ontario.

Re: Sale of Windsor's CKWW in the works
After reading about this on another board, it is possible that AM 580 will continue to do what it does now for 85 % of the time each broadcast day.

Re: Sale of Windsor's CKWW in the works
Birach Broadcasting is the one who blasts into a good portion of Southern Ontario during daylight hours with WTOR. Now two Windsor stations will be doing it to WNZK's coverage area if this application gets approved in February. In this case it will be day and night. Some of the languages I'd expect ...

If AM 580 has Ethnic programming on it in the future, they will have multiple languages throughout each broadcast day.

It looks like they are 5,000 watts non directional when they reduce power during the daytime.

Re: WADL didnt show the CW ACC football game this past saturday
I've noticed that WMYD continues to ID as 20 Detroit although the CW programming aired during Primetime. Are they still not sure if the WADL sale to Mission Broadcasting is going to happen or be approved?
