AM Frequency of the Week - 1050 kHz

B

Buckeyes2001

What can you all get on 1050 AM?

Here in Vermilion, OH it is mostly splatter from local daytimer WJTB 1040 days with WTKA/Ann Arbor, MI and CHUM/Toronto underneath. Nights is more of a jumble but mostly CHUM getting stomped on by KYW's I-BLOCK from Philly.
 
1050 in Marysville, WA, days, is KBLE Seattle, WA (EWTN).

I've also gotten, at night and sunset...
KORE Springfield, OR (Christian)
KTCT San Jose, CA (Sports)
CJNB North Battleford, SK (Country)
KEYF Dishman WA (Adult Standards)

1050 is KCHN Brookshire, TX with brokered programming as a 410w daytimer here in Houston. At night it is all XEG Monterrey, EUM "La Ranchera de Monterrey" with its flamethrowing 150kW aimed right at us. It is the strongest of the Mexican signals in Houston, IMO.
 
Northern VA,

it's WBQH Silver Spring, MD (very close to DC) with the Regional Mexican format and at night, it's kind of noisy with NY's ESPN Deportes on top.
 
XEG is the definition of a blaster in Houston at night. Some of the others are loud, but none are as loud as 1050. That makes me all the more disappointed I've never once heard it in Ohio, but the 1,000 or so miles between here and Houston gives that signal a lot of time to die.

You are absolutely right. XEG sounds like a local here at night and appears to have made Multicultural Broadcasting abandon their plans to get nighttime authorization for KCHN. We had discussed it in a thread some time ago, figuring KCHN wouldn't even make it out of Brookshire at night. Apparently we were right, as I never caught KCHN at night during their testing period. Apparently MRBI underestimated XEG's reach here in SE Texas and returned KCHN to a daytime only operation.
 
Far northwest suburbs of Chicago..... Days, WLIP from Kenosha, WI. 250 watts, 35 miles away, fair signal. Nights WLIP stays at 250 watts ND, but gets swallowed up by the jumble on the channel. CKSB occasionally rises to the top. Back when WLIP was a daytimer and the channel much less crowded it was XEG more often than not, with CHUM also appearing on a semi-regular basis.
 
Warminster PA(Philadelphia area):

Daytime: WEPN from NYC(weak signal), or splatter from either KYW 1060 or WNJE 1040
Night: WEPN(a whole lot clearer), or CHUM Toronto
