[IRCA] WEMM - 1200 is back
---BeginMessage--- Hi All: WEMM, 1200, Huntington, WV is back on the air w/gospel mx, numerous IDs sigs. that are not as good as they used to be. I suspect they came back on July 1. Also, the 1450 in Parkersburg is on, but doesn't seem to be cw anymore. Noted this morning w/religious program, preaching. 73 David ---End Message--- ___ 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] WEMM-1200
Hi All: WEMM, 1200, Huntington, WV is most certainly silent. Their on-line feed may still be on, but nothing here but very faint traces of WKST. Also getting an almost readable signal from WANB on 1210 and WOWO 1190 at its usual strength. When WEMM is on it puts what I would call a semi-local signal in here. In other notes; WZZW, 1600, Milton, WV appears to be off. All I hear is what I suspect is Wheeling. Was listening this afternoon when they should have been carrying Limbaugh (//WVHU) whoever was there certainly didn't have Limbaugh (WVHU was). WVHU-800 continues running WVHU/WZZW IDs, though. WLGC, 1520, Greenup, KY continues off. All I've heard daytimes on 540 for a long time is a faint signal out of Richland, VA. WWCS, which got in here almost as well as WKRC, 550, Cincinnati, must be off. 1230 is certainly interesting around here on weekends. WVNT, Parkersburg carries FSR, which means all three of the stations audible here (WYTS and WIRO are the other two) are FSR. It's a rather unusual effect. 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

Usually has a decent level here. Noted WKST, New Castle PA on the car radio in Athens the other day, but no WEMM. No problem with the FM. I wondered when they moved from 1470 why they bothered to put their money into AM. 73 David I don't know about on-air, but their online stream is running at 8:45 pm EDT on SAT 5/4 with current ads and live weather (Shine 1200 Christian).

Re: [IRCA] WEMM-1200
Todd: Far as I know it is the same owner. They were country gospel and WEMM for a time on 1470. They even tried flag-waving patriotism as WRWB for a time. When they were gospel before (on 1470) they were often //WEMM FM, though only when WEMM FM was playing music. It spends most of its time preaching. A couple of other things to note: WVKO, 1580, Columbus, is running some kind of talk format. I heard a clear WVKO ID today @ 1500, but even than early The Big Talker was well atop the channel so I couldn't identify which talk format WVKO is running. WATH, 970, Athens, Ohio, has added a flea-powered FM twin at 97.1. Though it has only 13 watts, its broadcast antenna is mounted up with the WXTQ (Power 105) antenna which, I am told, has the fifth highest origination point in Ohio. It gets in here as well as or better than the other flea powers in Athens. WATH is mentioning the FM frequency in some of their programming, but as yet I have heard no legal IDs giving its call sign. Third, the two stations I reported not hearing on my November trip to SC, the 1500 in Gaffney and the 1530 in Spartanburg, were both on and doing fine over New Year's weekend. However I did not (and have never while passing through there) heard any sign of WBKW, 1070, Beckley. When we first moved here in the mid-90s, they were a daytime regular as WCIR, mixing w/then WIBC. Today WFNI is always alone all day here, and how does anybody manage to operate on 1070 at night in the south given the signal WFNI puts into the Carolinas? WJLS, 560, Beckley is also a daytime regular here. Does anybody know if WBKW is really operating? 73 David --- On Wed, 1/4/12, Todd todftscytj7...@aol.com wrote: From: Todd todftscytj7...@aol.com Subject: Re: [IRCA] WEMM-1200 To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Date: Wednesday, January 4, 2012, 4:16 AM Hi David, Will they be the same owners as well?
