Regular WHRI programming on 5835 kHzended just before 0500 UTC Wednesday, with 
an announcement telling listeners to switch to a 7 MHz frequency for more 
religious pap. Transmitter then went off for about 30 seconds.
Open carrier followed for about 10 seconds before the shortwave station ID was 
played again. It immediately cut to WWL programming mid-sentence. CBS News on 
the hour came two minutes later.
There was no prior announcement regarding the contents of the special relay.
WWL 870 is currently inaudible at my location, but the WHRI relay is doing well 
at 0517 UTC, SINPO 45454. (I'm listening in my apartment using a Sony 7600GR and 
a Vectronics AT-100 active antenna with 25-inch whip plugged into the antenna 
input. Signal is slightly noisier when using the radio's whip with random wire.)
Regarding commercials, I noticed that a "normal" commercial for an auto 
insurance company was played right after the news. The storm-related spots are 
continuing.
