1230 and 1480 flip-flop calls

MarcB

I was poking around at FCC.GOV and noticed that 1230 in Manchester has gone back to the WNEZ call letters they had from 2001 (when they flipped flip calls with 910 AM) until 2004. And 1480 in Windsor has gone back to their original WKND calls.

Tomorrow is a day off from work and I can get a faint signal from 1230 here in Southington. I'll let everyone know if they dumpped their mixture of R&B Hits, R&B Oldies, and Black Talk format.

I also wonder if now since they're back to WNEZ on 1230 if they'll finally do a proper legal ID. For the entire time 1230 was WKND, they ID'd as WKND Hartford-Manchester when it's supposed to have been WKND Manchester-Hartford. Manchester is the COL for 1230 and has to be mentioned first after the calls. Then after Manchester they can say anything they want.
 
Speaking of old calls, AM 1290 (West Hartford) is WCCC once again, pertaining the to massive 490-watt signal for Beethoven Radio. If it helps you, I get a slightly less-crappier signal of 1230 AM. Yay? :p
 
I just checked at 1 PM. Not getting anything on 1230 AM, except bleedover from 1220 AM in Hamden.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that perhaps they were off the air because earlier there was a huge power outage in Manchester and that's where 1230's stick is. I just tuned in 2:36PM and heard a faint station playing Spanish Music.
 
The flip was done to make WNEZ and WKND more profitable to whoever buys them

910, 1230 and 1480 are all for sale.... for way more money then they're worth anyways.
