First time I heard `em was sometime in the early 90s when I lived about 30 miles west of Rochester, NY.  They were playing gospel mx, on late & giving WHAM fits.

I logged Knoxville TN 1180 first on Nov 23, 1990 from Fortville (same
geographic area as my present QTH).  Guess what?  It was a Friday night
and a HSFB or some local sport was on, I'm sure.  I am also sure that
they ID'ed during my logging back then, ensuring they were on late, on
purpose.  

Having dead air at the TOH indicates an automation problem and laziness,
incompetence or a "we could care less attitude" or some combination of
those excuses.  Webb City, MO 1100 did this for weeks at a time and I'm
not sure if it's fixed, yet.

Congrats Bob on the new one!

73,
Dave in Indy

PS - Can you tell that I love Friday nights in the Fall? :)

Yep, it's my local WVLZ in Knoxville.  Licensed to operate sunrise to
sunset only, but they're 24/7 like so many other daytimers nowadays.
They run dead air at legal ID time, but rest assured it's they.  1180
here, needless to say, is gone.  35 years ago, when I was a regular
listener to WHAM's all-night jazz show "The Best of All Possible
Worlds", if a soothsayer had told me that things would someday come to
this, and *nobody* -  not the station, not WHAM, not the FCC -  would
have the least bit of concern, I'd have thought him daft.
