Re: [IRCA] 20 second tone on 1480 and R&R music under 1510 WLAC

["HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS" <DAVID.HASCALL@xxxxxxxx>]

My goodness, when it rains it pours!

The songs that I heard on 11/23 from 11-11:20 PM CST are:

"Let Your Love Flow" by the Bellamy Brothers, 
"Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye" by the Casino's and (later)
"Bridge Over Troubled Water" later by Simon and Garfunkel."

You can reasonably suspect this is WLRB unless I say otherwise.  The
Engineer agrees the songs played would match WLRB. 
 
Do not, however, count this as definate, until I confirm otherwise.
 
They are having some more pressing issues today over there, so my buddy
whos the Chief Engineer hasn't had time to attend to my questions..
they're having a computer problem with one of their FMs and one of their
on air staffers had a stroke today. (The on air staffer that had a
stroke was the one my buddy was going to ask about WLRB, as the station
is his responsibility as well as his other duties.)

	Tom - I am 99.99% sure that I have been hearing WLRB Macomb, IL
on late
	for the past 3 weeks.  It has been widely noted that their talk
format
	ends at 7 PM and they revert to their previous format, whether
sunset is
	before or after that.  They keep the old format going to keep
the
	automation functioning, 24/7.  AND if the station does not
properly sign
	off at sundown, the old format would of course be sent over the
air
	without ads, newscast and such.
	
	I am reasonably sure that I heard a female singing the calls
(WLRB) at
	:27 and :57 and a male announcing them at other times ("AM 15-10
WLRB").
	
	
	As far as the "standards" format goes - many standards format
outlets
	have taken ten (twenty?) years off their playlists.  Instead of
playing
	music from the 40's and 50's, they are playing light pop /
oldies from
	the 1960's and 70's.  When I first started hearing what I
presume to be
	WLRB, I originally thought that it was rock too but the more I
paid
	attention, the more I noted that the music is more old, light
pop, which
	fits today's standards format.
	
	Paul have you heard anything from WLRB's PD?  Once again the key
	question is if WLRB's automation for the music format  inserts
singing
	calls at appx 27 and 57 past the hour.
	
	Rick Dau (NE) heard WLRB behaving this way in September.
	
	Ben Root from KMSD assured me that it is not them.

	Wow, I wonder what 1510 you heard? I *think* . .but don't know
for sure
	that
	WLRB 1510 Macomb, IL tends to be standards/nostalgia.. not rock
n roll.
	
	Could this be WJOT Wabash, IN on late?
	
	Could your 1480 be WDJO Cincinatti, OH or WLMV Madison, WI?
Either of
	those
	would fit your loop bearing.
