Ironic but WCAR 1090 in Detroit, MI just flipped to ESPN Radio as of 2/1/12. Here is a clip of the switchover (Courtesy: Mark77)

In northeast Kansas, get local KEXS 1kw Catholic radio from Excelsior Springs MO daytime and KAAY Little Rock AR every night. Very religious frequency!

In Memphis it's a weak KAAY 24/7
If you used to get KAAY, what can you get now in place of them on 1090?
As posted in another thread, they're back on with an STA for 5kw ND fulltime using a "borrowed" transmitter. Among other things, the result of this is KAAY being heard in places where they normally wouldn't be on their nighttime pattern. Last night, (Friday, Feb 15) I was in Birmingham, AL where they had a fair-weak signal, but were alone on the channel. Birmingham would normally be pretty much in their nighttime 50kw null.
Supposedly, the plan is to replace the ruined equipment and restore their former facility. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if they got really comfortable just using the STA. Just a guess on my part. But if indeed revenues are in the toilet, keeping the STA going for as long as they can would seem to make good sense from a biz standpoint.

Eastern Iowa:
Daytime--KNWS Waterloo, IA. This daytimer comes in and is borderline listenable. Years ago used to be faint at best (I'm about 50 mi southeast of their transmitter).
Nighttime--A faint or completely absent KAAY (which used to roar in like a freight train in the 70s and 80s). Have occasionally picked up KMXA from Denver faintly; probably not powering down at night, or failing to reduce to their allowed 500 watts from their 50k in the daytime. Often these days, this frequency is silent at night around here. I've never received KPTK or XEPRS around here at night.
