WBAF at night?

T

trusty

In Dahlonega, I just picked up a country music station on 1090 with a TOH ID of WBAF/Barnesville. Pretty good signal. I checked Radio-Locator, and it says the station is daytime only.

It's 3AM. What's going on with this station?

Tnx.

It is possibly transmitter testing period. All AM stations are legally allowed to operate with regular programmig with full daytime power between the hours of 12:00 AM and 6:00 AM, even true daytime only stations, when the purpose is to test the transmitter or other audio equipment. However, these stations are not permitted to air any commercial content during this time.
