With the EWTN programming moving down to 820, that should make ID'ing WHLY in South Bend a little easier, as I believe they are now the only station on 1580 running EWTN. I still need both WHLY and WVKO (which were easy back in Iowa City!) here. On the downside, however, I'm saddened to see WOSU shut down operations on 820. University-owned/run stations are getting fewer and fewer on AM, and we've just lost another one (I don't count KUOM-770 or KVCU-1190, which are run by the students and not by the university itself). 73, Rick Dau South Omaha, Nebraska

WOSU AM 820, Columbus, is gone, apparently permanently. I noted WVKO 1580 running a continuous loop inviting its listeners to tune to the "New permanent home of St. Gabriel Radio, AM 820." The new call on 820, as I heard it, is WVSG and the regular WVKO programming is all there, including the usual EWTN shows and Vatican World News is on 820. There is no indication of what the new programming on 1580 will be, though having recently invested in a power increase w/new transmitter & towers, I think it will stay on as something. There do not appear to have been any other changes in Columbus radio, though the 920 is almost never heard here. In other news, after being off all day, WLGN, 1510, Logan, popped on just after 1600 w/its usual oldies format. I have still not heard them carry a local spot since they switched to oldies, though I did hear them running a car spot for a dealer in Middleport, just two and a halr counties and about 55 miles of twisting, hilly roads away, so perhaps WMPO is offering joint buys for both stations. 73 David _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected] _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
