WAGL

I'm surprised since they're 50,000 watts.
Anyone know the story with WBSC? This is the second year I haven't picked them up on the way to the beach, though their old music format is on WCRE. Not that it's worth hearing.

Just heard WAGL this afternoon in Charleston on their critical hours power. In fact, they had someone local giving NFL scores. Good to hear.
I can hear them this morning loud and clear in Deltona, FL.
Normal signal in the PeeDee Region of SC and great format always.

Really? That's great! Love AM for that reason and so many others. It must have just been a fluke on my end.
On Wilmington Island near Savannah, I can copy WAGL on winter afternoons until sign-off.
On a recent Sunday afternoon, I was pulling in WAGL all the way down I-95 to I-4 into Orlando. A local announcer giving lengthy NFL updates during the MOYL format. I stayed with it the entire trip because I enjoyed hearing a live, local guy on a Sunday on AM radio. Pretty impressed with the signal reach too, even in the early afternoon.
You're not actually referring to MOYL as in the former (or possibly current for some of them) home of Gary Owens, Wink Martindale and Peter Marshall, are you?coolone said:On a recent Sunday afternoon, I was pulling in WAGL all the way down I-95 to I-4 into Orlando.

I heard somewhere that what this station does is actually oldies. I haven't tried it myself.coolone said:I suppose it is the "Music of Your Life" Format. It may be called something else now. Oddly enough, I found it rather relaxing on a long drive.
Since I live seventeen miles from their 50KW transmitter, this is one of my AM presets.
WAGL uses the MOYL format but their music ranges from fifties rock oldies and "Hit Parade" favorites to light rock and country of the sixties and seventies. It is not unusual to hear Patti Page, Perry Como, Gary Lewis & the Playboys, Patsy Cline and Charlie Rich during the same hour.
Sundays feature gospel music up until mid afternoon, then MOYL until signoff.

WAGL was "listenable" in Orangeburg 1-10-13 at about 5 to 5:15 pm...
Sounds a lot like America's Best Music. Except I don't remember the last time I heard Patti Page.cjunkielover said:Since I live seventeen miles from their 50KW transmitter, this is one of my AM presets.

That last time I heard WAGL the music sounded kinda like what WSCQ played near the end before they switched to Jammin' Oldies...
I mentioned WBSC earlier. Is it possible that with WBSC off the air, WAGL could get a signal boost in that direction?
It's a shame I don't get to try WAGL on the way to the beach but the AM radio in my car isn't that good, and I have other options. I could hear WAVO when they first upgraded their signal. I had a button for 1150 because Burlington had a Music of Your Life station there. Although more often than not that station was doing talk, or beach music.
With the car I have now I can't hear WAVO. Wadesboro has a station that plays easy listening when I'm passing through on the way to the beach. North of there, I had a button set for Life 103.1 in Sanford and discovered it was listenable a lot of the time. It was Timeless Favorites and now does the same kind of music locally. East of there, I wait for WIOZ to get clear. I used to get Easy 105.9 in some areas before a Florence rap station signed on at 105.9.
