Does anyone know why WHAT AM 1340 IS OFF THE AIR?

A

Does anyone know why WHAT AM 1340 is off the air? When I tuned in today I found them off the air.
Also how come now with WHAT off the air, how come I could not get WMID from Atlantic City. Does it have anything to do with the new tower WMID is on? Is there a reason why WMID's 890 what signal came in beautiful from Philadelphia when WHAT was off the air on the original WMID TOWER , and now WMID can't reach Philadelphia at all on the new tower. What was the difference between the old tower which sent a very strong signal and this new tower can't send the WMID signal to philadelphia at all? Or is WMID at lower wattage now? Could it be WMID'S new tower is too far south where the old tower was in Atlantic City and Absecon. I guess WMID'S NEW TOWER can't reach Philadelphia when WHAT IS off the air? I miss the terrific strong signal the old WMID TOWER PUT OUT? This new tower won't send a signal to Philadelphia at all? Or is WMID no longer operating at 890 watts?
I also noticed WWAC'S management still did not restore WWAC'S 1,900 WATT daytime signal on AM 1020? I have a feeling WWAC AM 1020 is only operating at 680 watts and has no intentions of ever raising the power during the daytime?

Remember, WWAC has to run 680 watts in the critical hours.

FCC data from Google AI:

AI Overview: FCC "critical hours" are the specific time periods—from sunrise to two hours after, and two hours before sunset to sunset—when AM radio stations must reduce power to prevent skywave interference with other stations. During these times, ionospheric changes allow signals to travel further, causing potential daytime-to-nighttime interference."
