Hi Paul; Have you heard anything? The wife has been sick, so not much DX time but ***I have not noticed them recently.*** The key question is if WLRB's "intended to be oldies to keep the automation alive" has a female singing the ID at :27 and :57. I also do not think that it is NJ or SC.
Since long time DX acquaintance Rick Dau in NE heard them with Oldies a few months back, after hours, it sounds like a slam dunk. 73, Dave in Indy -----Original Message----- From: Paul B.

One of my first "sounded like" for the calls was WRRB or WLRC which clearly could've been WLRB. Please let me know what you find out. 73, Dave in Indy >>Rick, One of my best friends is the Chief Engineer at Prestige Radio, the cluster of 6 stations in Macomb. WLRB is very clearly talk radio: http://www.prestigeradio.com/wlrb.html <http://www.prestigeradio.com/wlrb.html> What I think is happening is that WLRB has been stuck on past sunset because of an equipment failure and that the automation reverts back to the previous format, Nostalgia/standards. Instead of going on to more talk programming, it's set to go back to music overnight just to keep the automation running till sign on the next day. The Engineer is going to call the Program Director there tomorrow for me and find out exactly what happens after hannity is over 5 pm (per the program schedule) and before sign off.
