** NIGERIA. 11769.903, Sept 9 at 2033, VON one of better 25mb signals

but presumably not English. Must also check here when 7254.9 be
missing for the 0600 broadcast, as Ivo Ivanov found it on instead,

** OKLAHOMA. 930, Sept 10 at 0028 UT, WKY OKC in English! With the
demise of ESPN-D[eportes], what to do with this legacy station? Sports
talk in English! In fact, at 0047 plugs sibling station WWLS The
Sports Animal (98.1) which is also on KWPN 640 Moore, but not // at
the moment. At 0201 UT I find that 930 is // 640 but running 7 seconds
behind it. And again at 0620 UT when both are on ESPN Radio (in
English).

What a great variety Radio License Holding CBC, LLC are providing!
BTW, these two stations are not part of any other AM cluster in OKC.
according to FCC Licensee info. Oh, yeah?

At 1459 UT Sept 10, I monitor the ToH breaks on all three stations.
640 and 930 are not // but 930 is // 98.1, if not synched. At 1502
legal ID on 98.1 starts with WWLS, then a bunch of mostly AM
affiliates all over OK, to which WKY has been added at the end; as
part of Cumulus. And the same multi-station ID comes around 27 seconds
later on 930. But FCC AM Query shows Cumulus is *not* the licensee of
any AM station in OK. How about FM? Allegedly, ONLY ONE: 107.3 KOMS
Poteau! What is going on here? Well, RLH CBC LLC must be a subsidiary
of Cumulus, but why? Try to reach the former on Wikipedia and you are
redirected to Cumulus without explanation. Could CBC stand for the
obvious?

On FM, the following in OK are licensed to Radio License Holding CBC
LLC, per FCC FM Query: WWLS-FM 98.1 The Village [NW OKC suburb where I
used to live], KYIS 98.9 OKC, KATT 100.5 OKC, KKWD 104.9 Bethany.
Except for 104.9 which I could not hear anyway, the other three FM
would get knocked off the air simultaneously via storms.

WKY used to run some commercials and PubAffs shows in English; so now
will they insert anything in Spanish? When ESPN-D appeared, WKY
dismissed their ``La Indomable`` Spanish DJ staff. From Nov. 2014:
http://www.w4uvh.net/WKY930AM-ad.jpg

Former ESPN-D affiliates everywhere must be trying to find something
to replace it; will English or Spanish prevail? See my recent report

** U S A. 1539.95 approx., Sept 8 at 0602 UT, LAH against 1540.0
stations such as KXEL. I`ve been noticing this for some time. On MW
with all the QRM, it`s harder to measure to three decimal places. In
the past this has been KGBC Galveston TX. DF seems to fit, and
apparently it is off-minus still or again, as Terry Krueger, now moved
to Niceville FL in the Panhandle, has just reported to DXLD:

``1539.903, TEXAS, KGBC, 0918 August 28, 2019. Very poor, with
Mexi-tunes on peaks, and confirmed it's KGBC per D. Crawford who had
it a few days earlier and since on 1539.903. And not to be confused
with the still off-channel and variable KBOA Kennett MO on
1539.996-1540.005, this check on the low side with "Too Much, Too
Little, Too Late" by Denice Williams & Johnny Mathis.``

Per 2019/2020 NRC AM Log, which does not deal with offfrequenciness,
latest KGBC format is Tejano, U4 2500/250 watts. Beware, so is KEDA
San Antonio, Tejano, which I guess refer only to music style. However,
música is feminine, so why isn`t it called ``tejana``; machismo [where
the ch is not pronounced k!]? Also, is it possible for a station
outside Texas to be Tejano? Or e.g. if it play the same style of music
from OK, would it be ``Oclajomano``? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

TBN HD. That is not helpful, but as W9WI.com confirms, this is the new
repacked channel for 1000 kW, KDOR-TV in Bartlesville, ex-17; so it
will not interfere any more with Enid`s K17JN-D, whatever its
masquerade. PSIP lineup:

17-2, Hilsong [sic, gotta delete a letter to get it down to 7]

17-4, Enlace
17-5, TBN SD
W9WI.com disagrees on a couple: 17-3 JUCE; 17-5 Salsa. As with some
multi-casters, it could be certain subchannels are timeshared, so the
other names might apply elsewhen? It still seems strange that 36 will

Alan Gale reports: ``Hi Glenn, I'm hearing World of Radio here in
north west England again today, not very strong but it's definitely
there on 9485 kHz and even came up a bit towards the middle part but
then faded out completely after around 1450 UT.

I tried it on my SDRplay today and found that a USB bandwidth of
around 1.5 kHz worked best, but with the splatter it wasn't easy to
understand too much of what was being said, especially with some
fading on the signal as well. As you can see from the waterfall
display, a LSB signal would have no trouble at all, it's just the
upper sideband that is suffering, and even a double sideband AM signal
would probably fare better as you could at least tune lower or use
your IF shift to remove some of the splatter. Alan.``

Also confirmed, Sat Sept 7 at 2100 on WRMI 9955 after IS & ID loop,
S9-S7 and fluttery, upcut at ``---with World of Radio 1998``.
