AM Frequency of the Week: 1050

First, I must be the only person in mid-America who hasn't heard WDZ.

I thought I hadn't, but I looked back over my old logging magazines and, yep, sometime in the 1970s, I received it. I probably was in O'Fallon, Missouri (St. Louis area) at the time, so it might have been around critical hours.

On FM, I had heard WDZQ multiple times, and a college friend worked summers there tending the automation. It was one of the few grandfathered FMs in Illinois, but it isn't any more.
 
Dayton. NV

Daytime: Nothing
Nighttime: KTCT San Mateo
I'm hearing music on Spanish & English

It's not XED

Vallejo, CA

Day & Night: KTCT San Mateo
 
In west Houston TX, daytime is local daytimer KCHN with Chinese programming (various South Asian shows on the weekends). At sunset after KCHN goes off and at night, XEG is very strong. I have heard gospel KJBN around sunset as well. For some reason, I've never heard KVPI here, but it appears I should try harder given the reports from @jim-satx and @TXPH97
 
Here in Wood Dale, IL in the near NW suburb of Chicago:

Daytime: WLIP with a decent signal
Nighttime: CHUM most likely

DX/RETRO: Until about 3 years ago WDZ was a no show in my log book, but it was not because of lack of trying. Finally logged them in December 2020. Heard few times since then. Others heard on this frequency include KMIS (Portageville, MO), KJBN (little rock, AR), WPAG/WTKA (Ann Arbor, MI), WEPN (NYC), WGRI (Cincinnati, OH), CFYN (Sault Ste Marie, ON), CKSB (Winnipeg, MB), CMLL Radio Victoria, Cuba, XEG Monterrey, Mexico. My latest new logs on 1050 kHz are WSMT (Sparta, YN) and WWIC (Scottboro, AL) from earlier this year.

Both gone from AM. As is Sault Ste Marie's CKCY which was a fairly easy catch in the Chicago area. Routinely trashing WOKY and WBAA on 920. The only local AM signal in Sault Ste Marie now is WSOO/1230 on the American side of the border.
 
In the Wilkes-Barre(Northeast PA) area, during the daytime, it's mostly a faint WEPN from NYC. It's best heard using a loop antenna facing northeast. Nightimes, it's a mix of both WEPN and CHUM from Toronto, both strong signals.
 
East-central Iowa: Nothing daytime. And practically nothing at night. 1050 is kind of a regular disappointment. Sometimes I hear KLOH from Pipestone, MN, above the mess of signals. Sometimes I hear XEG Monterey. Retro: CKSB Winnipeg.
