1680 WTTM stunting with Country music

As Neal Newman posted on the NJ board, 1680 WTTM is stunting with commercial-free Country music in full C-Quam AM Stereo until Saturday, November 5th, when WTTM's existing transmitter (near Princeton, NJ) will but shut down and WTTM will fire up their newly built transmitter site in the Camden, NJ area (licensed to Lindenwold, NJ, but clearly designed to target the Philadelphia metro area) and will also launch a new format.

For the past few years, WTTM was home to EBC Radio, an Indian music format which is now heard on tiny 243-watt daytimer 1170 WWTR in Bridgewater, NJ. For a short time today EBC Radio was simulcast on both 1680 WTTM and 1170 WWTR, but in the early afternoon WTTM went off the air and then later came back on with Country music. WTTM's daytime signal is 10,000 watts non-directional, and its 1000-watt nighttime skywave signal can be heard throughout the Eastern half of the USA & Canada at night, and has been frequently heard in the Scandinavian countries in Europe as well.

I've heard it here on the east coast of Australia too!

That explains it--I'm north of Boston and was picking up "wild country"
(no-commercials, just some liners & DJ talk) on 1680 (daytime).
This was between Beverly and N. Reading, MA
