I work in Leisure World every Wednesday night and am tuned in to the station 90.9 Top 40 Hitclock. There is no DJ or commercials. It is all music with an AI voice telling you the year the song about to be played is from. No mention of song titles.

If that isn't a Part 15 micro-powered station, it's not legal. No licensed stations on 90.9 anywhere near Seal Beach.
It sounds like this particular pirate/part 15/whatever has been around for at least 4 years now.
I live at LW and yes the station does exist. I posted about it a few years ago and nobody here knew anything about it. Regarding the signal, the station begins to fade on the 405 north around Bellflower Bl. By the time you get to Lakewood the signal is nonexistent. Southbound the signal starts to fade at the 405/22 interchange.
The announcer is M.G. Kelly.

That sounds a little too strong to be Part 15.
The station can be heard on the campus of Cal State Long Beach. The signal is mediocre. As one travels east on 7th St. toward the OC line the signal improves. It is loud and strong at Westminster/SBB and all through LW. The RDS in my car displays "Hitclock" as well as the artist, title, and year of the song.

A pirate station with RDS? 
Maybe they can partner up with the Wolfman station?
Gee I wonder if this little entity has any more listeners than 1260?
This transmitter is only $20 and claims to support RDS. The manufacturer says it's no longer available, but they're still for sale on eBay and probably elsewhere.A pirate station with RDS?
Maybe some enterprising senior citizen has one set up in their unit?

Is it still on the air? I thought the time got brokered to a Spanish-language religious group:

Come on. Does every thread have to turn into a mild insult toward Saul's station?
Not to pick on Saul, but it illustrates how little excitement there is for radio stations in general anymore.
Posts here focus on low rated AMs and LPFMs. I could have easily picked on KFRN or KALI for that matter, but they haven’t come up yet.
It’s interesting.
Actually, I have respect for Saul sticking it out so long as local broadcaster. He clearly loves radio.
In the UK, a significant percentage of the pirates (and at one point there were plenty every weekend) used RDS.A pirate station with RDS?
