AM Frequency of the Week - 790 kHz

B

Buckeyes2001

What can you all get on 790 AM?

Here in Vermilion, OH it is a weak WPIC/Sharon, PA with some slop from CKLW 800 days. At night it's more of a jumble which gets stomped on quite a bit by WBBM 780's I-BLOCK and less CKLW slop.
 
Far northwest suburbs of Chicago.... WBBM splatter/hiss day and night. Nulling WBBM produces an unintelligible jumble on 790. "Back in the day" CKSO was on top more often than not, but they're long gone.
 
Northern VA; days, very weak WNIS Norfolk, VA with some splatter from DC's WAVA 780.
Sunrise/sunset; I have logged in news/talk WAEB Allentown (3600W days) and WBLO Thomasville, NC (10 kW days) with the regional Mexican format. Nights, pretty much a mess with WNIS often on top.
 
790 is local KBME Houston TX, 5kW day and night airing sports as "Sportstalk" 790. KBME, in its day was the home of the last great Top 40 on the AM dial, 79Q, in Houston. I can get a weak KFYO Lubbock TX "Newstalk" 790 underneath KBME on occasion.
 
In the near north Chicago suburbs it used to be Norfolk at night & Saginaw, Mi during the day, but now with WBBM's I-BLOCK it's nothing but noise.
 
I used to pick up WBLO Thomasville, NC during the day all the way to Concord. Then they dumped good music for yet another Spanish format.
 
In Marysville, WA, 790 is KGMI Bellingham, WA in the daytime, and I've picked up loads of stuff at night.
