Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] unID on 1220 with (mostly) 70s oldies

[Rick Dau <drummer1965usa@xxxxxxxxx>]

An update: at 2239 CLT, signal rose up enough after Aretha Franklin's "Respect" for me to hear "playing the best music ever made" by a DJ named "Smokin' Kevin".  A lot of diligent research led me to "Smokin'" Kevan Browning, so this is someone airing Citadel Media's Classic Hits network.  Hopefully that should start to narrow this down...

I stand corrected, I just found that same information seconds before I saw your post.  Still, KNOD does not simulcast KJAN, so whoever this is with oldies on 1220 is not Atlantic.  
 
I called a DXer just east of Cedar Rapids a while ago and we compared what we were hearing, which was a simultaneous reception of "Midnight Train to Georgia".  He said it seemed to be looping northwest from his QTH.  And even though he says he cannot normally hear KQMG at night, I'm starting to suspect it might be them and that they're simulcasting the FM instead of airing ESPN, for some reason.  
 
As I type this, Orleans' "Still The One" is coming in pretty good and looping E-W...

95.7 KSWI and 96.5 KSOM are owned by Meredith Communications, KNOD is owned by Wireless Broadcasting, KJAN is owned by Wireless Communications.. as far as I know (and I once applied for work at KSOM/KSWI), the stations arent related.

KJAN has it's studios in Atlantic and even though theyre co owned, KNOD is in Harlan.... KSWI and KSOM studios are in Atlantic. Scott Fybush went through Atlantic and had picture son his sit eof the seperate KJAN and KSOM/KSWI facilities.

They do not.  As far as I know, KJAN's two sister stations are 95.7 (Atlantic) and 96.5 (Audubon).  KNOD never makes a mention of KJAN at all during its programming.
