Re: [IRCA] unID 1510

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

Hi Paul;

Have you heard anything?  The wife has been sick, so not much DX time
but ***I have not noticed them recently.***  The key question is if
WLRB's "intended to be oldies to keep the automation alive" has a female
singing the ID at :27 and :57.  I also do not think that it is NJ or SC.

Since long time DX acquaintance Rick Dau in NE heard them with Oldies a
few months back, after hours, it sounds like a slam dunk.

73,
Dave in Indy

Dave,

I will let you know what I find out about WLRB as soon as I hear from my
friend.

	Your hunch is my hunch, too.  One of my first "sounded like" for
the calls was WRRB or WLRC which clearly could've been WLRB.

	>>Rick,
	
	One of my best friends is the Chief Engineer at Prestige Radio,
the cluster
	of 6 stations in Macomb. WLRB is very clearly talk radio:
	
	http://www.prestigeradio.com/wlrb.html
<http://www.prestigeradio.com/wlrb.html> 
	
	What I think is happening is that WLRB has been stuck on past
sunset because
	of an equipment failure and that the automation reverts back to
the previous
	format, Nostalgia/standards. Instead of going on to more talk
programming,
	it's set to go back to music overnight just to keep the
automation running
	till sign on the next day.
	
	The Engineer is going to call the Program Director there
tomorrow for me and
	find out exactly what happens after hannity is over 5 pm (per
the program
	schedule) and before sign off.
