Did WRNB's TX Site Lose Power Last Night?

B

BRNout

Just happened to be listening to WRNB late last night and the signal went from good to poor as if someone flicked a switch. I have good line of sight to Liberty Place, so was able to adjust the Walkman to bring the newly weakened signal in. But, I noticed that it was just as weak this morning. In fact, WKRZ just about owned 107.9 from Berwyn through Paoli to Exton this am. WRNB was there, but super weak and losing out to the S/W-B market signal (which just ain't right, BTW).

They seem to be running at reduced power (or were as of this am). Does anyone know what happened?
 
As I mentioned months ago, WMMR seems to be having problems also, it has to be the new Comcast building, now its almost as high as the MMR/RNB mast, the cranes are above the mast and could deflect the signals. I have had a problem with MMR in the Cherry Hill mall, which is only a stones throw from the XMTR site, never had the problem before. This has been going on since March, I know a few other listeners had problems with both stations, although, now I listen to 1045 in the mall so I did not check MMR out in a few weeks. On the Liberty mast there are the four sided, four squares and on top of them there is this large screen, are the bays in the squares or is it the screen itself that is the antenna for MMR, just curious. See ya in the CHM food court where Mayor(joke) Street hangs out now and then.
 
Not this time - the power was audibly cut, resulting in an abrupt loss of signal strength. My thinking was that it was something that happened because of the storm. The Comcast building issue has a more subtle effect on the signal, while this was definitely something more serious.
