I heard rare mentions of ESPN, but not very often.  WLGZ owns 990 around
here.  I occasionally heard the CBC IS-type tones, which likely is CBY.
Other than one very tentative "WNTP" mention in the noise, I can't say as
I've really heard them.  Oh yes, and one traffic report mentioning the New
Jersey Turnpike northbound.  I don;t even know for sure if WNTP does traffic
reports.

Hmm.  I heard that last Midnight.  Who??

As of 6:40pm WALE is still off.  At this point I wouldn't even guess when
they would be back.  I have been unable to find anything more.  It may be as
simple as them not paying an electric bill..  Who knows?

At the moment I'm hearing some high female operatic-type singing.  If it's
the Fat Lady, then *something* must be over.  Hopefully the song.  It's
bogus..
