Gospel Highway 11 blasting away at night...

I don’t even know the call letters. But it’s supposed to be a daytimer. It’s 1030 pm . And I want to listen to WBT at those hours But I hear screaming voices . It’s awful . What the hell is going on ? It’s weak but it’s there. WBT can’t get through it . Both at 1110 am . This is bs, lol.

I noticed all the new religious formats popping up all over are Gospel, I mean how much screaming can one take...
 
Not to belabor this, but 2 weeks ago , at 4am, there they were blasting away. And on consecutive nights since I couldn’t sleep, I turn the radio on and and they’re still on at that hour. And the signal is loud . even pushing out 1100.
I dunno. Doesn’t this stuff get reported ? Not that I care .

It looks like they carry Levin followed by Coast To Coast. May I suggest finding one of the other dozens of stations that carry these shows or better yet pull it off a stream to listen? It is syndicated programming.
 
Has it ever been determined what station this screaming "Gospel" daytimer was? And doesn't "Gospel" as a radio format refer to a music format featuring songs of praise by African American singers, groups and choirs, with "Southern Gospel" referring to the format that includes white artists singing Christian-themed songs in a country-influenced style? A preaching station would properly be classified as "Religious," right, or is there a more specific format term?
 
Judging from what I read regarding that, 4 /5 am are not included.
CTL: I have stumbled upon their newscasts. They are way over there on the left.

Critical hours is sunrise to 2 hours after and 2 hours before sunset to actual sunset.

What he was implying is that they are licensed for 4800 W 3 tower days and 500 watts non directional during critical hours and it would appear like they were using the critical hours license overnight
 
Midnight to 6 AM is the "experimental period", Daytimers can use day pattern for equipment testing, maintenance and so forth.

Maybe that's what they were doing. Commercials aren't allowed, though.
