** SPAIN. 17755, Nov 16 at 2304, no English since it`s Saturday, but
REE still absent from this frequency direct, but audible on 17715,
12030 and best 9690. Something`s notright at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.003+, Nov 16 at 2303, VOT English not off
the air, S9+10 direct but insufficient vs noise level. At 2326 into
UTwente when measured, S9+25/30, `The Energy Agenda` ending at 2329,
``always-by-your-side`` promo, 2330 music. 2351 recheck, headlines by
Efsun about Gaza, 2352 s/off as if 13635 at 1330, something`s always
awry at Ankara, and IS very briefly to 2353*, uncovering the CCCCCCI
which was already audible underneath; something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2269 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday November 16 at 0400-0429 on WTWW-2 5085, VG direct, a bit of
music afterwards to 0430*.

Not confirmed Saturday November 16 at 0930 on WRMI 9455, which remains
off the air. But someone suggested that 9455 programming may be
appearing on 7730 instead. So I asked the WOR iog: ``WOR on which WRMI
at 0930? Scheduled on 9455 but has been off the air. One report that
some of that programming has been moved to 7730. If awake and not
inconvenient, would someones please check if World of Radio airs then
on either frequency? Thanks, Glenn`` and got two contradictory
replies:

At 0935, Chris Mackerell, New Zealand: ``9455 off-air, 7730 sounds
like SMTV. No WOR to be heard. Cheers, Chris``

But Ron Howard, California, at 0940: ``Glenn, Nov 16 (Sat.) heard
7730, with non-stop music 0926-0930 UT; at 0930, start of WOR of
#2269; weaker QRM underneath in Chinese (CNR1 jamming?); WRMI much
stronger via remote SDR in Vermont. 9455 kHz was a clear frequency.
Ron, San Francisco, CA``

I happened to awaken at 0930 and heard nothing direct but Chinese on
7730 - that would be jamming vs SOH per EiBi. Yet Ron was hearing WOR
-- so that leaves me still wondering. A possible explanation, however
unlikely, would be that WRMI was running two transmitters at same time
on 7730 with different programming, widely divergent azimuths,
deliberately or by mistake? Per grid, SMTV is supposedly only on 9395
at the 09-10 hour. 7730 supposedly with TOMBS at least on weekends.
Glenn.

Confirmed Saturday November 16 at 1547 the 1530 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.002-, S9+5/15 into UTwente. Some ACI from 6165 which EiBi shows
is CRI in Pashto via Urumqi, yet some background music sounded similar
to ``Silent Night``.

Also confirmed Saturday November 16 at 1834 the 1830 on SW Radio,
Germany, 3975.002+, S9/+5 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Saturday November 16 at 2030 on WRN North America
stream, and on WRMI webcast only.

Also confirmed Saturday November 16 from 2059 the 2030v on WA0RCR,
1860 AM, MO, S9+18/20 groundwave into nearby SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday November 16 at 2100 on WRN Europe stream.

** U S A. 5920, Nov 16 at 0728, huge S9+45/50 direct with soft
instrumental hymns; and still at next awaken 0933. Obviously WTWW-1
has been prolonged way late, but not with TOMBS, which is all it
usually carries earlier in evening, and daytimes on 9930. A test? I`ve
asked George what`s going on with this (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 7490 -50 Hz = 7489.950, UT Sat Nov 16 at 0052,
pre-`AAAWWW` check of WBCQs, this one still S5/S7 offset less than
usual, with FKB. And with ACI from 7495 not evitable even by LSB
tuning, i.e. VOA R. Ashna via Kuwait until 0100. 3265+ and 5130- not
on air into NH SDR, nor later mid-hour check direct. 6160 with TOMBS
-71 Hz = 6159.929, S8/9+10. Tried the 7490 stream but not working. So
I switch to Maryland SDR on 7490, where it`s S9/+10. After FKB,
deadair, Chariots of Fire music bit, canned ID thrice, more DA,
finally JIP Wm Tell Overture theme. Allan remarks over/under music,
``things much better``. Then refers to ``Elon Musk, our hero``, just
like last week, so a repeat? No, this seems live when it`s clear that
the MAGAtts will control all branches of government. More delusional
gloating for sure, so I quit (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. RF 18, virtual 62-5, Nov 16 at 1615 UT, I`m checking for
SCRIPPS NEWS [ex-NEWSY], via KOPX Ion OKC -- at first it`s black and

press reports that Scripps was about to abandon over-the-air channels
for streaming:

``Scripps cutting 200+ jobs, shutting down Scripps News channel
91.7 WVXU | By John Kiesewetter Published October 2, 2024 at 12:39 PM
EDT

Saying that “the prospects for the necessary revenue growth haven’t
materialized,” Cincinnati-based E.W. Scripps Co. is pulling the plug
on its national 24/7 Scripps News broadcast channel based in Atlanta
and eliminating more than 200 jobs.

Adam Symson, Scripps president and CEO, told staffers Friday that the
national broadcast programming — seen here on WCPO-TV’s Channel 9.6 —
would end Nov. 15.

However, “it will remain on streaming and digital platforms with
weekday live coverage from the field” and a “core reporting team,
based primarily in Washington, D.C., will serve Scripps’ local
stations’ news operations with national and international journalism,”
Symson said in a staff email...``

Seems it has now just happened. I was hoping it would provide truly
unbiased news coverage, unlike NewsNation which claims to be (Glenn

Replies on the WTFDA iogroup:
``Hi Glen-and-All: I am also sorry to see Scripps-News quit what they
were doing. I heard some of their hosts say good-bye yesterday. I am
not sure what KILM 64.1 is running, but I think it`s some
entertainment or series. I am listening on this stream of Scripps.
Mostly just packaged reports.

I did aircheck them when they were Newsy at a beginning of War in
Ukraine, also grabbed DNC-and-RNC coverage, as well as Election night
for 25 hours, and a June 27 Debate. Obviously if you want any of
these, please write off-list. Chime Hart``

``After seeing your email I checked and it's ION now. Which dupes ION
that's on another station here in Quad-Cities Iowa-Illinois. But this
week coming up there are major changes coming as one station which is
actually licensed to Burlington IA but had has a hopping transmitter
before moving to the Orion IL TX site becomes the flagship for 3.0 and
a bunch of subchannels gets moved around. I have warned people that
they may need to hunt for their favorites till things get settled
down. Michael Scheel``

``If you have a Roku, download their app. I'm watching it now. Mike
Bugaj, CT`` --- ``Well Mike, I just looked around their ROKU app, it
seems they are not running live newscasts. I know they've been saying
on-air "Scripps-News is moving to your favorite streaming service" but
they were already available. It`s also too bad their youtube channel
doesn't have many longform events. Chime`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)
