Yes it is.. 250 is the minimum day and not for new licenses.. what you see is stations who have been around before that rule was enacted and are former daytimers given night power or those who downgraded. You can be a Class C/B/A well above 250 and downgrade.. you cant build new under 250

I am sorry I should have said daytime power of 250 watts
Isn't a Construction Permit considered "new"?
A very rich policeman who shot and killed his own cousin (who was renting a house from Edwards). He was found "not guilty" by a jury.
Nobody in his family appears to say anything nice about this guy.
for a new never built station, a CP for an existing station is different.
this is how i recall things to be, i could be very wrong and if i am, someone will correct me.
One thing to add on this topic is that AM 1000 has a low-power FM translator on 105.3 FM. I can hear it very weak at times and it transmits from the east side of Cleveland. Could AM 1000 be getting it's "Air 1" feed from 105.3 FM? It's probably temporary until Edwards decides what to do with the station.
I thought the FCC had some rules that a felon couldn't be holding a license. I guess, though, if he was found not guilty that the rule wouldn't apply but you'd think the FCC would take a really hard look at the guy before granting him a license.
And currently on radio 1000 it's the Dead Air show with your host Silent Carrier. Since earlier this afternoon.
youre forgetting and missing part of this discussion, they are using the DA.. and are running 100 watts from someones roof with a short inefficient antenna

I think Wooster would be a bit too far for their weak signal. I just hear a lot of noise at the moment even though my signal meter shows activity and I'm around seven miles from the transmitter.
EDIT: Hearing music now around 4:50 PM and the 105.3 frequency has the same content but both very weak.

They left the transmitter on overnight broadcasting dead carrier. It messes with reception of Chicago, although it can easily be nulled out.

But they should be off at night, correct? I can null it out as well but Chicago isn't always as strong depending on conditions.
Correct. They should go off at local sunset - about the time when all the other stations are doing power change/pattern change.
Thought it might be, but even then there was some flutter as if I was on the edge of a station's range or two stations were fighting. At the time I scanned the dial, around 4:30 last Thursday, I was confident it wasn't the latter. I have heard the same flutter when I catch the very last breaths of, say, WLW or WTVN when I am driving to far northeast Ohio.

I think it was still on last night around 9:30 or so judging by the position of my signal meter but there was no music/sound.
The past couple of times I tuned into AM1000 while driving in Cleveland, just last week, I either heard nothing or, after 4:30pm, heard limited sound from ESPN 1000 in Chicago which, often, comes in fairly well after the sun goes down. The time I was listening between 4:30 and 5:00pm, I was in the Opportunity Corridor near E. 55th street area.
