NYC Radio Station Testing on 550 AM Last Few Days Non-Stop

There's a station coming in quite clear in Queens on 550 AM....It seems to be a recording saying "TESTING, TESTING, 1, 2, 3..." Anyone have any idea what's going on here ?

Could it be an airport (LaGuardia perhaps?) radio station preparing to go on the air, you know the kind that gives traffic info around the airport etc.?
Do the local airports have stations like they have in Southern California?

Your post reminded me a station doing exactly what your 550 AM station was doing. For about a year! Finally it went on the air as the Ontario (CA) Airport radio station.

(BTW it was/is on 770 kHz!)
 
Yeah,

I heard Disney on 550 but later on I heard the testing again...Aren't they owned by ABC...? I thought there were new owners at WABC & WPLJ...could we see changes on these stations in the near future ?

So what are you saying that the other person who said Disney is on WQEY 242 from Queens Blvd is not what I heard ?
I'm assuming WQEY is a subcarrier of WQEW 1560 Radio Disney.

The only Disney on 550 AM I know of is in Pawtucket, RI, outside of Providence.

ABC did not sell their Radio Disney stations in the Citadel sale.
 
Oh I see...i'm still hearing the testing 1, 2, 3 on 550 AM from Queens...just wondering how far this signal is being heard around the New York City area...is it coming in outside of Queens ?
