Hi Group:
WNXT, 1260, Portsmouth, Ohio,, appears to have gone silent. I was in the
Portsmouth area Sunday (6/14) and noticed they were off. Since then I've
checked 1260 several times, both day and night, and no sign on them. Though
they put little of their signal in this direction they are usually listenable
all day and in the mix at night, but only WWMI/NNDE here Wednesday night.
Clear Channel appears to have restructured its Huntington-Ashland-Ironton AMs
with WVHU-800 and WZZW-1600 simulcastiing conservative talk while WTCR-1420 and
WIRO-1230 are FSR. (WIRO was //WVHU/WZZW.) WCMI, 1340, Ashland and WRVC, 930,
Huntington both carry ESPN, but do not give a multi-station ID so they must be
independent operations. This puts two ESPN stations in the same market. The
1080 iin Cannonsburg, KY, is still religious (mostly preaching, apparently) and
the 1470 in Huntington continues its Gospel format. The other AM in the
market, WGOH, Grayson, KY, could best be described as "traditional
country/bluegrass."
WPAY, Portsmouth is still on with talk (this one had a long silent period
earlier this decade) and WIOI-1010, New Boston is MOYL-type oldies, though
Sunday they were carrying local short-track stock car racing.
