Hi Willis, it might be helpful to try and determine whether
they are intentionally running programming at night
(as if they had been auth'ed 24hr operation) or, whether
they have some sort of malf'ing automation equipment,
or just a careless operator-on-duty, maybe a highschool
kid.

What do you hear when they are supposed to be
signing off? If there is a change in programming at their
sked s/off time, as if they are then picking up a FM feed,
then it sounds like just lack of oversight. (Do they even
have a FM? You might want to listen for clues about this,
as in - why are they even programming at night).

However, IF it sounds like they _intend_ to run AM allnight,
you should either verify their authorization to do so, or
else you have a larger issue with which to get the
attention of the FCC, not to mention WBAL, who are
probably the only interested bystander in this case (not
you, sorry).
