** CANADA. 1290, Jan 18 before and after 0800 UT, South Asian songs,
no ID heard. NRC AM Log does not show any US or Canadian station with
such a format on 1290. However, CFRW Winnipeg has just changed hands
into such a format! See Jon Pearkins` Canadian Radio News, via NRC DX
News Dec 30:

``1290 CFRW MB Winnipeg – First reported back on the air, somewhat
intermittently, with a testing audio loop on December 15 with 1 kW,
going off the air at 1739. Back on the air by the next day with 10 kW,
presumably using their licensed day and night patterns, as Akash, the
new owners, purchased the transmitter site from Bell. And began being
heard in Europe by several DXers. Akash staff is saying that the
station will officially launch in February. Already using the same
‘Connect’ branding/slogan as co-owned CKER-FM Edmonton, AB: “Connect
AM 1290.” Another slogan being heard is “Asli Radio,” which means
“Real Radio” in Punjabi.

On October 16, the CRTC approved the sale of CFRW by Bell to Akash and
granted a license that expires August 31 2031. This contradicts the
October 10 CRTC decision that states “New licences issued after the
publication of this regulatory policy will also receive indefinite
licences.“ With its standard Commercial Radio License, CFRW can
broadcast no more than 19 hours per Broadcast Week of ethnic
programming, defined as not in English, French or Indigenous languages.
There is no restriction on the overnight period, Midnight to 6:00 AM,
as it is not considered part of the Broadcast Week.

CFRW began as CJQM-1470 on November 1, 1963, as a clone of CHQM-1320
in Vancouver BC. But never saw the ratings or advertising success of
CHQM. CJQM had lost one million dollars and, in November 1969, became
“the only radio station in North America ever to go bankrupt” (The
Globe and Mail, Toronto Ontario, February 12, 1970)``

10 kW day and night patterns supposedly restrict signal to the south,

Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6932 USB, Jan 18 at 0049, pirate rap S8/S9. It`s Mix

UTwente, news read by Efsun, hard to understand despite her slow pace.
1744 ``always-by-your-side`` promo. 1745 `Letterbox` with Cemre. It`s

snowplows at work. How is winter where you are? 1) Jayanta

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2330 monitoring: Confirmed Saturday
January 17 at 2030 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 3975, JBA into Bedford
UK SDR, not UTwente.

Also confirmed Saturday January 17 at 2030 on WRN via WRMI 9395, S7/S9
into N9AZZ IL remote.

After Feature Story News at 2059, chopped for ID, WOR 2330 plays
*again* at 2100 on WRMI 9395, presumably not from WRN, altho also on
WRN Europe stream at this time.

Not started by 2030 Saturday January 17 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO: very
difficult to detect via available SDRs; St Louis one has it best but
times out too quickly. JBA at 2121 into KM4RT west TN SDR, so the
2030v may have just started.

Also confirmed Saturday January 17 at 2205 the 2200 on WRMI 9395,
S9/+10 into Maryland SDR - the third time in two hours; OK!

Also confirmed Saturday January 17 at 2230 on WRMI 15770, and 17790,
both S6/S7 direct.

Also confirmed UT Sunday January 18 at 0030 on IRRS SW/NEXUS/IBA/IPAR
webcast.

Also confirmed UT Sunday January 18 the 0415v starting at 0424 on
WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+10/15 into KM4RT west TN SDR.

S9+30/45, 7570 S9+5, 7780 S8/S9, 7730 JBA carrier.

Happened to awaken at 1050 so checked 9510 direct for the 1030 on IRRS
SW: JBA, could be me. But confirmed: ``Here is the following reception
report of World of Radio Via IRRS Milan on SW: 9510 18/1 1054

** U S A. 5129.94, Jan 18 at 0056. `Radio TimTron Worldwide` ending,
``stay tuned for `Fred Flintstone` on *7415*``, a long-gone WBCQ
frequency so this RTTWW must also be very old (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re WBCQ 7490: ``Supposedly off after 0500*`` --- I have no
basis to assert or even predict that this will happen, but if
9330-related revenue stops coming in, their mostly
self-financed-so-far Radio Angela 2.0 on 6160 would be a controllable
expense, and moving some of it to 7490 after hours and shutting off
6160 might actually make sense. Did the transmitter go off after 0516
or continue with something else?`` -- Bill Tilford.

I did not monitor further; let`s hear what happen tonight: 0500 UT
Sunday Jan 18, 7490 goes from `SW Sat Night`, to `The Devil`s
Advocate` instead of turning off as on sked, with T.D.A. shown as 0400
UT Saturdays. Still on at 0526. Not really listening to it; assumed
still the show as introduced. Rather poor reception even inaudible
unto Maryland SDR, but poor into KM4RT TN. I suspect 7490 be
underpowered. Off by next check 0633, probably around 0600.

Bill Tilford: ``So much for Radio Angela 2.0 there. That show makes
The Proud Boys look like McGovern Democrats by comparison`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. ``Glenn: — "880 -- this must be KJOZ Conroe TX".
Format-of-the-Month club. If I'm recalling this correctly, it seems
KJOZ "La Calle" was a moniker for a Latino-Hits type musical slate
targeting the young folks — and before that I seem to recall KJOZ
being Spanish-Religious. I did hear snippets of what sounded like a
SS-Sports presence on 880 a few nights ago, via the Mississippi SDR,
and just assumed it was KJOZ (not WIJR, which seems to be pretty much
pure Regional Mexican). So, either all that, or my imagination is
laboring overtime. 73z de the other G H`` - Greg Hardison (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490-, UT Sat Jan 17 at 0516, ``so long from Amos `n`
Andy``, music, S9+10/20. Is this on the WBCQ program schedule? Of
course not! Supposedly off after 0500* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5850, YT Sat Jan 17 at 0730, Deutsche Welle on WRN via WRMI
// weaker 7780; but at 0754 recheck, classical music, not DW,
announcement by Brice about Josquin des Prez, so a fragment of
`Encore` is used as filler?! Not scheduled at this hour. That composer
not on current playlists. Something`s odd at Okee. 0759 cut to
Everglades ID, 0800 gospel huxter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 880, Jan 17 at 0448 UT, something in Spanish clashing with
KRVN Nebraska in English, sometimes overcoming it. DF on the PL660 as
NW/SE, what? Could it be TGJ I used to hear decades ago? 0449
``¡goooaaaalll!!!``, local? ads, phone 844-464-8796, like a toll-free
number in the USA. Talking about football, US involved, ``La radio del
Mundial 2026``, ``jugamos junto a ti`` and interview partly in
English! fade around 0500 ID time. Makes a SAH of 52/minute with KRVN
= slightly less than 1 Hz. 0506 ad in English 1-844-262-4729. Finally
realize this must be KJOZ Conroe TX, rimshooter to Houston where it`s
addressed, in mwlist is now ``Latino Sports``, so that explains the
bilingualism. NRC AM Log had KJOZ as U4 10/1 kW, SS:REL in the Radio
Visión Latina group, but not anymore. Radio-locator has yet another
identity for KJOZ, ``La Calle 102.5`` = The Street 102.5? What
signified that? Site is Conroe, and barely reaches Houston with
`local` contour on night pattern with a notch toward WHSQ, not a
problem thisaway.
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KJOZ&service=AM&h=N
Day pattern more or less circular but with sea gain to the SE. I still
suspect it were on day power. Normally I don`t hear any SS QRM to
KRVN, but condx somewhat auroral. Search shows the -8796 number has
something to do with Verizon; -4729 unknown (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1700 kHz, Jan 17 at 0439 UT, S9+20/10 of dead air, no doubt
KKLF Richardson TX again with problems. Other reports in IRCA
https://groups.io/g/IRCA/topic/117242533
suggest it`s no longer R. Jalapeño, but IDs as R. Fórmula, or plays
Christian music in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. The first WORLD OF RADIO website was on Angelfire, but it
disappeared without notice almost a week ago.
https://www.angelfire.com/ok/worldofradio
Discussion of this situation:

https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1q9707b/angelfire_has_been_down_since_17_is_it_gone_for/
A lot of our earliest DXLD and WOR output was stored there, and
fortunately much still exists as last scanned Sept. 21, 2025, via:

Not all the linx lead to anything, but e.g. here`s a detailed 1999

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, UT Sat Jan 17 at 0054: no
signals on 3265, 5130, 6160, 9330, and only JBA on 7490! *0055, 5130
cuts on as usual with IS & ID loop, so it would be best/only, but I`ve
switched to (7490) stream, at first playing at double speed and double
pitch. Is that WBCQ fault or my Winamp? Never did that before.
Apparently new ep as no rerun disclaimer. First comment over WTO
theme: ``OK, OK, let me tell you, folx``, and single word at 0103
during pause in music: ``hope``. I always note those so one can later
determine right away if it be a rerun. AW still not fully recovered
from flu caught on plane two weeks ago. World needs SW now more than
ever. Laments ``Trump derangement syndrome``, accusing his opposition
of being the bad moonbats buying into Socialism! The *real* TDS is
suffered by those who still think *rump is wonderful. 0118 finally
gets around to datestamp as 16th day of January, YOOLF in Heaven,
2026; 45 degrees F in Fla, low was 28 or 25. 0128 trimulcasting on
7490, 6160, 5130.

Some changes: 9330 is off, not a tech problem, but ``hiatus for a
while by a contracted client`` = World`s Last Chance, never mentioned
by name. This just happened last Sunday. So is available for major new
client(s), too expensive to sell time piecemeal. Not only 360 degrees
rotatable but beam can be varied from narrow to wide. Must charge much
more than the standard $ 50/hour rate on classic 50 kW transmitters.
0130 imposes ``cone of silence`` for coughing? Maybe Voice of America?
He muses. As a private business, WBCQ could operate more efficiently
at a lower cost than a government entity.

0134 a tune for Dominic. Now I check the NH SDR where 6160 is JBA
S9/S6. Song was Joni Michell, ``Turn Me On`` - as a radio? 0142
another tune, Ringo Starr, ``No-no Song``. 0145 Radio World story
about numbers of US radio stations, slight decreases in most
categories, except non-commercial educational! He doesn`t realize that
the increase is due to gospel-huxters falling into that category,
besides genuine public secular radio. 0151 some emails: Jerry in Nyack
with anti-*rump comments, causing Angela to *yell* an expletive at
him. 0155 ``Vinyl Records`` song, chopped at 0157, as Allan starts
talking off-mike, barely picked up by Angela`s mike. Then turns on and
repeats. 0159 concludes that the Super-Stition is ``up for lease,
rent, *acquisition*, or whatever``. That last means it`s even *for
sale*. Quick prayer and over (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Jan 16 at 0756, WRNO not off the air, YL
undermodulated in English, I finally conclude, S9+20/30. Late
broadcasts are sporadic. Website is all about donating, no programming
info: http://www.wrnoworldwide.com/ Via WOR Hitlist, WRNO also on FB,
but nothing newer than April 9, 2020! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 26575 & 26585, Jan 16 at 1551, JBA carriers and SSB
2-way, unseems English, maybe Spanish or Portuguese; extended CB in
LAm? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
