What is the format these days on 1110 AM? Is it signing off when it is supposed to sign off? Two mornings in a row, shortly after 4AM. I am hearing a "Hindi" or "Desi" type of music.

It's a Hindu format
The music is referred to as Hindi. Thus:

KTEK on the weekend is a similar format with Hum Tum City. Another group broadcasting is Music Masala, playing the same music format.

Per Chuck & others, it looks as if this thing is stretching its questionable night signal into Florida. Heard it here last night. There was a time here when at night it was WBT and only WBT. Now I believe there is a Cuban on 1110, and now this, along with PC& electrical noise!

This seems to be the "normal" mode of operation for a lot of the "brokered plug it in, turn on the carrier, collect the check and forget it stations" who are very lax regarding power/pattern switching.
Noticed the other night from my location north of McKinney, KTXV in Maybank TX was hammering WLS on 890. Since Maybank's night-time AUTHORIZED power is 250w it would appear that they were running the full 20KW all night. I hear this happen a lot so this seems to be a fairly regular form of operation from this facility theses days.

I don't find that hard to believe, not at all. But note that KTXV has no nighttime authorization; they filed an application early last year to downgrade to a daytime only station. They worded the request this way: THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT BUSTOS HAS DETERMINED THAT IT IS UNECONOMICAL TO OPERATE AT NIGHT, WHEN ITS CORE AUDIENCE RESIDES OUTSIDE THE LICENSED NIGHTTIME INTERFERENCE FREE CONTOUR (THE STATION PROVIDES PROGRAMMING IN THE VIETNAMESE LANGUAGE TO LISTENERS THROUGHOUT THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH 'METROPLEX', BUT THERE ARE NO KNOWN VIETNAMESE SPEAKERS IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF THE KTXV TRANSMITTER SITE). The FCC approved the application but now KTXV is broadcasting in English, not that it changes anything!
BTW, the information on Radio-Locator is incorrect, as is the listing for KTXV under the FCC's AM Query (one of the sources for R-L's info). You have to go a little further and look at the authorization that changed their status: http://licensing.fcc.gov/prod/cdbs/pubacc/Auth_Files/1363385.pdf

I was referencing 890 in Maybank as my example primarily. I've heard them frequently at night in McKinney over WLS.
If they were running 250w that is hard to believe
If they "forgot" power change then the 20kw signal is believable ;D
