WCRN 830 Worcester, MA

I've been hearing WCRN 830 Worcester, MA three of the last four nights here in the Chicago area under WCCO. So if DXers want a catch from MA other than WBZ. Last night around 11:00 p.m. it was some kind of "infomercial" - couldn't tell what it was about though. WCCO was strong even when nulled.
Other nights (Thu./Fri.) Foundation for Human Understanding - Roy Masters after 3:00 a.m. is when I noticed WCRN on 830. My guess is their DA night pattern may be "out of whack" since WBZ has not been coming in any stronger than usual so it's probably not propagation alone that's causing WCRN to be heard here. Occasionally I can hear only the Mexico City station on 830, and once in a while WFNO from the New Orleans, LA area must be on their daytime DA. I was also looking for WHCU 870 Ithaca, NY as a DX target, which has been reported at least as far west as MI, but no luck, so it was unlikely that WCRN was coming in here in Northern IL due to propagation alone...
 
I cant get 830 here anymore thanks to a local 810's IBOC garbage where they probably only have 2 listeners!! (Used to be able to get them during the day)
 
Used to be able to pick it up under a local (830 CFJR, which has since moved to FM), while they were playing big band/standards stuff. I was looking forward to the power increase (occurring roughly the same time CFJR was moving to FM), but...the format changed to 'hot talk', which I can get anywhere. :S

Thanks for the tip Stormy. I'm listening to 830 right now and WCRN is dominant w/ WCCO under them here in west Michigan - new logging for me. I was monitoring 830 a few weeks ago and logged WTRU with religious programming from North Carolina. Definitely not the same "WTRU" that I fondly remember as a kid in my home town on AM 1600....
