On The Radio Now - New Events Coordinator

There is also the matter of transmission radeation factors where there are two or more stations on the same frequency ... for example WKBN's radeation factor changes at about 6:00 PM so that it will not interfere with another station on 570 Kc.

Some frequencies are more crowded than others and to overcome interference there will be a number of stations that that only get a sunup to sunset license while others get a 24 hour license.

With the advent of internet radio, and with more stations using this technology it is now possable to hear low power stations that use this technology.

On my web site I link to over 2000 radio stations that you can listen to: http://farrell-report.tripod.com with a wid variety of formats

AM waves travel differently during the day than at night, so stations have to change how they broadcast at sundown. When I lived in western Ohio I could hear WKBN until sundown, then something changed and I couldn't hear them anymore.  Maybe has something to do with ionization in the atmosphere?

Solar powered radio?

I think some AM stations operate under very old laws that require them to cease their broadcast at sunset.  When I was a kid, I listened to an AM station in Canton, WRCW, that did this.

I'm sorry if you missed the interview.  The station went off the air at about 5:15 p.m.  The station must operate from sun up to sun down.
