Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Anomaly on 680 KHz



That "CBS Radio Network, Channel 41" is a placeholder on the satellite
system that CBS abs Westwood One use to send content to affiliates.

Based on when you heard it,  I'd bet it's someone who was carrying football
and their automation didn't switch away when the game ended.

Beyond that... who knows?

(Back in my WBZ days,  I heard a lot of that CBS placeholder audio while
waiting for feeds to come down the line!)

Had basically the same here, Les.  Noted from 2008EST with same loop.  I
DFed it and it nulled roughly NNE from here in the Gainesville, FL area.
Good signal, but with fades.  I heard WPTF on the channel at 2025 when I
tuned out, thinking it might have been them.
