Radio Disney DX times 3

[MarcB]

Live in Southington, Connecticut. Last night I picked up 3 Radio Disney Stations when I normally only can pick up 1.

I picked up 1560 NYC which always comes in every night.

I picked up 1260 Boston which comes in on occasion, but usually on 1260 I get a Country Station out of Canada.

I picked up 1250 Pittsburgh, which I've never picked up before. If I get anything on 1250 at night it's usually a very weak WMTR the Oldies Station from Jersey.

Other than these three on the same night, are there other R. Disneys that you've picked up at your location?

Here in the Chicago area, the Disney "hat trick" used to be 1300 (Chicago area....but not a full-coverage signal), 1640 (Milwaukee), and 1260 (St. Louis, but usually audible here at night). The Milwaukee outlet, however, was acquired by Catholic-based "Relevant Radio" and now runs that format.

There used to be one on 1650 somewhere I think that I've picked up. Now I hear an ethnic station on 1650, but I think that's out of Canada and not the former Radio Disney affiliate.

1650 was WHKT Portsmouth, VA. Talk radio, now, since we're so underserved for that format on AM </sarcasm>.

And the ethnic you're hearing is most like CINA Mississauga. You might also hear some French or Yiddish out of Montreal, and that station also has English programming. I'm willing to bet it's most likely CINA.

In Ottawa it's 1560 New York, 1260 Boston and it used to be 1640 before the format was dropped, and 1650 before CINA came on the air.
