[IRCA] WNXT - 1260
Hi All: Noticed WNXT, 1260, Portsmouth back on the air last Sunday morning, 9/9, w/local gospel show. First time I've heard 'em since the storm at the end of June. I think they were off altogether, because I could never hear so much as a peep out of 'em all summer. It is possible they were on with very low power, but I don't think so. At any rate, they are back and they are now Fox Sports. ESPN is gone. IDs as "AM 1260, WNXT." 73 David ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com 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: irca@hard-core-dx.com
[IRCA] WNXT - 1260
Hi All: While WYPC, 1330, Wellston, has been back on for a week now, I'm not hearing a pieep out of WNXT, 1260, Portsmouth. The channel is completely empty. They protect Cleveland, so we're in their null here, but they are usually audible at about the same level as WCHO, 1250, Washington Court House and WHIZ, 1240, Zanesville. All the power is back on now. I wonder if a) they had tower damage, b) I'm having a problem with interference on that channel, or c) if they're a casualty of the terrible economy in that part of the state. If even WPAY-FM couldn't make it 73 David ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com 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: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Hey Group: Noted WNXT-1260, Portsmouth, OH back on yesterday AM carrying a local church service. That was when I was in Wheelersburg. I haven't checked to see whether or not I can hear them here again yet. 73 David Faulkner Albany, OH ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com 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: irca@hard-core-dx.com
[IRCA] WNXT-1260 Silent
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. 73 David Faulkner, Albany, Ohio ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com 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: irca@hard-core-dx.com
