On 1190 late last night on my car radio here in Southern Indiana, I heard a station giving WOWO a run for its money. Of course all the fades happened at just the right time, and I wasn't able to ID it. It was playing some very classic country and maybe even some bluegrass. (Obviously not WLIB!) Any ideas on who this might be?

Most definitely *NOT* KEX!
Don't think CFSLs' directional pattern has been "in" for quite some time.
Been audible in Boise for over a year. Shouldn't even hear it at all.

I did a video AM bandscan here where I got a classic country station on 1190 at night here in Vermilion, OH and not WOWO. Someone suggested it was KFXR from Dallas still running on day power after sunset.

Advance to 6:00 to get to 1190.

But now I see that KFXR is news/talk now and not country anymore? So now perhaps it was WIXE from Monroe, NC
I have recently heard WIXE-1190 from Monroe, NC MANY TIMES in the evenings here in Lexington, KY with Country Music. They have a CP to bump power to 25,000 watts Daytime, but only 85 watts at night....all Non-Directional, I believe. They are not always there, but when they are, WLIB and WOWO do NOT have a chance here in Central KY. Either they do a lot of testing of the 25 kw signal before midnight (which is not supposed to happen) or they just don't care.
I'm kind of leaning toward KQQZ. I looked them up and see that they have a CP for 650 watts of night power now (even though very little of it's coming my way). If that's new, that would explain why I don't remember hearing them in the past.
It seemed to be an odd night, and I heard a lot of new stuff. For example, 680 WCCT Corbin, KY, was BOOMING in with a mix of Oldies and Standards. That channel's normally just a mess of unlistenable noise at night. It makes me suspect that 680 WDRD Louisville, KY, was off the air.
