My guess would be WEBS. I've heard 'em here doing very well before sunrise and before WBGS s/on. WBGS IDs frequently as "Cruisin' 1030 and is adding more and more local origination. The morning show, done by one host, a man, is now local as is a tradio show at 10 a.m. (seems to sell a lot of guns - WV, you know). I've noted that some of their songs during the local origination segment are out-takes, not the hit versions of the songs. WBGS also puts only slightly better signals in here than does the Gallipolis 990, which has only 1 kw, so I've suspected for a long time that WBGS has a fairly substantial null to the NE. 73. David

I have heard them before in the past at night with presumed day power. Don't expect an ID however. Bill Harms Karl J.
