I set mine to :58-:01 and :04-:07 since some stations ID or (at least back east) give local weather after the news. I sometimes have to sit through some pathetic promos (especially on Coast-to-Coast and ESPN stations) between :58 and :00, but these settings work pretty well and give me a little ma

As Gomer Pyle would say "Surprise...Surprise...Surprise". Most AM radio today is a clone of someone else. Conservative talk? My, isn't that a novel idea? What didn't I think of that? Not! 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA m

Tim, Often I will set the receiver on a frequency and record from :58-:02 each hour, as there are few IDs at other times, if at all. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotala

Talk with just about any adjective in front of it is pretty awful. Even sports talk, because there are too many networks and the talent has been diluted. The toughest part of DXing these days is sitting through 59 minutes of tripe to get an ID (if they remember to include one - good luck if it's

I will be surprised if the format is other than News, Talk, Sports Talk, or maybe SS. If it goes music, it will change to talk in time probably. Everybody is some form of talk it seems on AM. Even Rel stations seem to run a lot of talk. Look at any major market including SF, LA, Portland, Seattle

Wonderful format! People LOVE to talk on radio about things they they've heard about but don't really KNOW any of the facts. It seems the less they know about the more biased their opinions are. Well, AM Radio offers the gamut for anyone with a strong stomach. Orwell was just a few years off

Hi Mike, they're running an announcement that something big is going to happen Thursday at noon, so I wonder what's going on? They also did a stunt, where the listeners would write in to suggest what the new format would be, and the email for that was [EMAIL PROTECTED] so I wonder what's going to
