Mystery Top 40 station on AM 540 in the 90s

Here in Central Indiana we have a drive in Movie Theatre that transmits the audio on AM 540. Whenever the movie would end you could hear very weak audio on AM 540 with a current Top 40 CHR format. The signal was very weak and I never did get an ID. Sometimes the station would boom in loud enough to hear the audio of the CHR station bleeding in under the Movie's audio. I doubt the station still has a CHR top 40 format, but I bet the station still exists. Does anyone know of any CHR-Top 40 stations on AM 540 back in the early to mid nineties, possibly before and beyond. It may have even been an Am simulcast of an FM station.
 
there was 54 rock from Ottawa Canada who had a monster signal covering much of the east coast that was around until around 1992 before moving to 106.9 fm.
 
no dice, the first posters stations ended top 40 in 1977, 2 yrs before I was born, and the othere station was still around during 94-95 I beleive and it was straight ahead top 40, not rock..... Then again alot of chr stations in the 80s called themselves a rock station, so it could have been it. Im thinking it was someones FM-AM Simulcast, could sometimes hear mentions of Eastern Kentucky wildcats coming under it.
 
Hmmm... The only station I recall was CJFT "Stereo 53" Fort Erie; I used to get it every night in the Chicago area in the late 80s. I am not sure when that station disappeared (early/mid 90s?). If you were using an analog tuner, you could have been hearing it very close to 540, but I'm just brainstorming here. CJFT was a Top 40/AC station.
