Their signal is definitely not strong in the city, either yesterday or today. The places where it's full quieting, 1260 gets killed by faint power line noise.

On the am1260 website, the top item is this:
WCCR has obtained permission from the FCC to begin work on the station’s transmission system. Depending on where you are listening, you may hear the Rock at a lower or higher signal level than normal. Remember AM 1260 The Rock is available via Android and Apple apps and on our website, as well as through Siri, Alexa, and other virtual assistants. Thank you for your patience and your prayers, and for the financial support that makes this work possible.

I remember back in 2006, work was being done to prepare for the launch of their HD Radio carrier, which involved replacing the transmission lines to each of the 5 towers. Where I'm at (northeastern null just outside the local contour), the signal was actually stronger at times as they likely went non-directional with a single tower at reduced power, probably at around 1kW, which was enough to put me inside of that local contour. I take it this is what they are doing again when they mentioned "a lower or higher signal than normal".
