1330 AM?

I rarely check in to WINT (formerly WELW) AM1330, but had the occasion to over the past couple of days. Unfortunately, I heard nothing but off-the-air static. The last time I listened in the afternoon, they ran "The Ramsey Show" live. I usually could hear them on Cleveland's East Side (around E. 55th street), but that hasn't been the case over the past couple of days.

Checked on it today while repairing a radio. No sign of anything on 1330. I can sometimes pick it up faintly where I am.
 
On Tuesday, 03/18/2025 between 4:30pm and 5pm, I was driving on E. 152nd Street in Cleveland. I dialed up 1330 AM and only heard off-the-air static.
If WINT was broadcasting, they should be able to be heard there.
 
I remember, decades ago, when someone commented that WELW's owner (The Somiche's?) practically had a license to print money. That's how successful the station was. During the time they had an Oldies format, Tony Petkosvek (sp) was a part owner and had a Polka show at 3:00 p.m., at least, during the weekdays. At the time that WDLW in Lorain was, first, transitioning to an Oldies format, WDLW hooked up with WELW for a mini-Oldies network of sorts. That was interesting.

I tuned in to 101.5 while driving on E. 55th street in Cleveland this afternoon (03/19/2025). What I heard may, or may not, be relevant. The signal/sound quality was spotty. I heard a lady talk show host who was Conservative. At the bottom of the hour I heard only, what I think, were national ads. One of them was voiced by Mike Gallagher, a national Salem radio host. When it headed back to her show there was no local ID, just a sweep that blew by so quickly I didn't catch what it said, although the word America was in it. This was followed by a few seconds of no sound, and then the show re-started. At 250 watts, what I heard may, or may not, have been the WINT translator.
