Are you sure they're in mono and you're not just enjoying their experiment in "special" processing? This subject has been beaten over the head in this board until it should be dead...
 
BACK TO MONO!!

It's not usual for an FM station to go mono for a while, especially if the audio processors need tweaking.

However, some broadcast strictly in mono. Tom Read's American Christian Network chain of stations in Eastern Washington are in mono (maybe a good thing, they sound awful anyway.) CBUF 97.7 Vancouver (French Canadian CBC) broadcasts in mono. They used to be stereo, but for either the regularly mono network or reaching out to the handful of French speaking people on this side of the border, they've gone totally mono a couple years ago. KQBZ also used to be mono, but often when a listener's stereo pilot light on their radios doesn't immediatally kick in, they will change the station, somehow thinking there's something wrong with the station. KQBZ seemed to realize this and went back to stereo a year or two ago.

What does the tower have do to with whether they are stereo or mono?

Talk FM - USE the stereo!!

I always thought FM talk should take advantage of the Stereo feature.

LIBERAL talk on the Left channel; CONSERVATIVE on the right.
You just tweak the BALANCE knob to the find the right mix to fit your style.
