I didn't see WDBC 680 in wour daytime bandscan.

The one that always surprises me is WKRS 1220, which is local to me. Many years ago, one of my brothers lived in Gladstone (U.P.) and if you were anywhere near the water WKRS was always there.

Used to be a good talk station; now ESPN Deportes.

WSCR is quite strong up here. If they run I-BLOC, that would explain no WDBC. The AM band is very empty where I am (only one station within 40 miles, and that's a graveyard that barely comes in here).

1150 could also be CKOC Hamilton. I've heard it in the midwest many times in the past.

Are they classic hits?

I think they are directional away from me at night. It could also be KRLD, if they run nondirectional days (it was just barely dark when I did my night bandscan)
 
I am kind of surprised that you do not pick up WJR - 760 - Detroit during the day. It has come in very well in this area during the day for decades. I think the mileage is about the same from here to Detroit from Detroit to where you are. Could WJR be directional during the day?

Also interesting that you get WONE - 980 - Dayton at night. After sunset, that station is almost imposible to hear here. I have seen reports of it being heard to the north at night.

Five words for lack of WJR during the day: Bad ground conductivity in Michigan
