not entirely, the WNJC transmitter is sitting in Bridgeton now and it may be back with Non D operation diplexed with 1240 at some point, it seems
Nothing at all against WNJC, but it's one of those suburban stations that almost entirely misses the city it would most like to serve. (It's a shame it wasn't built out by WFIL and WNTP, where it would have covered the market.)
Used to hear traces of it on skywave at night here in Pittsburgh, under McKeesport. I suspect that was better reception than the Philly metro got.

Up this way, where local WPPA 1360 is mildly E-W directional day, they drop power at SSS and send send 500 watts south, with huge nulls away from Hartford and Cincinnati.
1360 McKeesport performs the same courtesies at night, as does 1360 in North Jersey. While WNJC wasn't / isn't as co-linear as those four stations, they had to tighten their belt away from both WDRC and WSAI as well.
Lol -- one night when I was living in the west null of WPPA Pottsville, I logged BOTH WDRC and WSAI. That was with WPPA on the air, 7 miles S of me.
Never heard WIXZ here. And when WNJC did their August 2020 overnight DX test, just the Morse Code ID's and the sweeping bloop tones were audible in the 1360 morass.
Those nulls are certainly real.
