WNNZ also relays BBC World Service overnight and then some starting
from around 10 p.m-6 a.m. weekdays and 7 p.m.-6 a.m. weekends. It's
daytime power is licensed for 50 kW, but nighttime it drops to 1 kW,
I believe. I can receive it easily during the day all over eastern
NY, but it drops from earshot entirely at sunset. At least, usually.

[edit] WNNZ
WFCR provides a full-time NPR news/talk programming feed to WNNZ,
640 kHz, licensed to Westfield, Massachusetts, which is owned by
Clear Channel Communications. WFCR is providing the station's
programming, and Clear Channel is selling underwriting
advertisements.[1] [2]
The programming now heard on WNNZ was moved in 2007 from WPNI, 1430
kHz, in Amherst.

Subject: [mwdx] WNNZ on 640 is using daytime pattern
Warm greetings to all of you and season's greetings !
WNNZ (Westfield, MA) is using daytime power on 640. I can barely
null it off the back of my Sanyo MCD-S830's ferrite bar loop to
pick up the Toronto station or something else.
They are semi-local like, at least as strong as WVMT is on 620
from Burlington, VT.
They are relaying NPR, I just heard an ID for WFCR 88.5 which it
simulcasts. A quick research over Google relayed that is indeed
WNNZ and not a new semi-local nightmare. An aurora should take care
of this guys even on daytime power, since their groundwave signal
is THRESHOLD and aurora leaves only groundwave from domestics and
skywave from southern domestics, Caribbeans and Latins.
I guess the chief engineer of WNNZ is buzy on New Year's Eve.
As far as the px content goes, they talk about the issues
concerning the Israel - Palestinian conflict among other items !
If anyone in Europe needs WNNZ-640 or MA as a state (since
WBZ-1030 is beaming away from Europe at night) or, if your are like
me a foreign DXer with some limited short-skip DXing too, go, get
that one.
A few days ago, it's CFRA-580 who forgot their daytime rig one...
May the good DX bless your ears and fullfill your New Year's Eve
party !

Btw.: Maybe it can reach Venezuela with YVQO Unión Radio nulled
out; YVQO is a regular during, at least, semi-auroral condx;
otherwise WNNZ, CFYR and CMBC are jamming the channel. It appears
that even Guadeloupe would be possible once again on 640 during the
right condx...
