For a long time rimshot KTXV Mabank didn't even bother to use their nighttime facilities; 250 watts from around 55 miles southeast of Dallas just doesn't cut it. I don't know long this has been going on but I've heard them after midnight three nights in a row, apparently with full power (20,000 watts) using their daytime pattern. It's not a test, either; it's regular programming littered with all kinds of commercials. Their pattern has a deep null toward WLS Chicago but the sky wave may be ripping up KDXU out in Utah. Reception reports, anyone?

Unless the rules have changed, equipment tests, even in the experimental period, with anything but the licensed facility for that time, can't run commercials.
