AM Daytime only stations

[Casey]

How many of the AM daytime only stations are left? In the Detroit area I know of two WKEG 1030 in Sterling Heights and WLCO 1530 in Lapeer. Are there more in Michigan?

There’s also WWYC (former WTOD) in nearby Toledo, though technically they do have a few watts at night. Doesn’t go much past the parking lot.

WHFB in Benton Harbor is licensed at a mighty 1.3 watts at night.

Sometime soon we can add (yes that's right) WSMZ 850 AM(formerly WGVS) of the Smile FM network to the list of daytime-only AM's in Michigan. They have a construction permit to build a 250w daytime only AM in Muskegon. Surprised anyone would want to build an AM of any kind in 2026 except for something to feed a FM translator...

This website has details about this rare exception on converting existing class B stations to class D and daytime only

850 was able to get 1kW directional night at their former site, but they can't even get a few watts ND at night at their proposed site?
