So did B97s tower and studios get Bad Damage from the Hurricane, or does anyone know, for sure?

Where I'm at west of New Orleans, WDLT 660 from Fairhope that runs 10kw comes in but low... DIZ runs 1,000 watts so I don't think I would be able to hear it at al during the day (a new station at 1620 from Pensacola barely comes in at night and that's at 1KW )
this station in the New Orleans area sounds like a local.... My guess is WVOG from Metarie off frequency at 590 or something by FEMA

Could WDIZ be runnning their nighttime pattern in the daytime durring this disaster? According to radio-locator they aim right at New Orleans at night.
With all the power lines down and some other AM stations off the air I wouldn't be suprised if WDIZ was able to get a good signal into New Orleans right now.
I have heard WDIZ break in around the top of the hour for the legal ID, so if it's bugging you enough, listen for it.

I am the engineer for WDIZ.... we run 2.5kw at night (D) and 1.7 day (ND)...we were carrying United Broadcasters of NOLA until about 230pm today (Friday). We have gone to our new format which is WW1 Adult Standards....Glad you could hear it....I knew you could hear it VERY well in Golden Meadow, LA, I used to do some contract work for Callais Broadcasting who used to own KLEB AM and the new FM in La Rose (this was in the 80's and early 90's)....I could always hear DIZ there like a local.
BTW, I have been in Biloxi for the past 11 days...just returned last nght. I was helpng keep the Clear Channel Biloxi stations on the air. We finally got the last transmitter site back on commercial power on Thursday afternoon at 5pm.

I don't know what I've been hearing but if we do hear standards tommorrow, we'll know it's your station (I didn't know DIZ was running the relief programming from New Orleans (figured you all would be running the stuff from the gulf coast cause I could swear CC on the gulf coast is running info seperate from WWL/United by the bits and pieces I've been hearing from WKNN 99.1).
I'm around the Thibodaux area and Usually the only thing I used to hear from the east (past new Orleans) is /was WVMI 570 (which flipped calls and frequencies to 1640 and have lost hearing them)... 660 from Fairhope, WRJW 1320 Picayune and 1580 from pascagoula.... and most are running higher power (5-10KW) or directionals....
I didn't think I could hear it cause I can't catch a 5kw ND from Alexandria on 580 ... (I know water affects propigation)
But I'll inform when I try tommorrow...
Also I thought the new FM in Larose (which became KLRZ 100.3 in 1992) was never owned by Harold Callais and company ? I know he owned KLEB Am and a station on 94.3 (KZZQ and KLEB-FM were some calls) before he sold all of his radio holdings (with the owner of KLRZ, Jerry Gisclair (EUI telecommunications) purchasing KLEB-AM , and Mike Costello buying 94.3 and turing it into WTIX-FM....

Been hearing WKNN 99.1 coming in with KXKC lately and thats the only "coast" info I've been hearing so that's why I was asking if it was different than United.
But Thanks on the heads up

Clear Channel brought in a full news operation into Biloxi for the 4 FMs there. The only time we are running the United Broadcasters of NOLA programming is overnight. We were carrying WLOX-TV's audio but they have reverted to regular programming for the most part as of Thursday night when they carried the football game.....CC's stations in Biloxi are basically carrying locally produced programming from 6 am until 10pm, then we are going to the NOLA coverage. The transmitter for Harold's FM was in LaRose....it was licensed to Golden Meadow (if I remember right). I understand he died several years ago....I don't know what happened to his son Cory who was the "station manager".
The reason we were running NOLA coverage on 590 is because we have about 10,000 refugees over here and they can find out info about their area. We were in the midst of a format change on the signal so it made perfect sense to put the signal on for about 10 days.

Thanks for the information and want to appologize to you and Poledo... Just checked and heard WDIZ ID as WDIZ Panama City before an instrumental and Celine Dion at 5pm but it wasn't as loud as what I had heard before (before it would stop my seek button on my radio) but still caught it..maybe the noise floor is starting to come back (and usually I have WVOG 600 nearby to goble the station up)
You're right on the license with Harold Callais (I think it was switched from Golden Meadow to Galliano in the late 80's-90's sometime) but the studios were in South Golden Meadow before being consolidated with his cable company offices on the north side of Golden Meadow. I don't don't know either about his son Cory but the family sold all of it's media holdings a few years ago with SJI (the telephone co) getting the cable business, Michael Costello getting 94.3 and moving the tower to Plaqumines parish, and Jerry Gisclair getting KLEB.
You threw me off on the Larose license as Gisclair had gotten a CP for a station to be licensed in Larose that eventually became KLRZ 100.3 in 1992 (which he finally sold and finalized within the past month or so)
But Thanks again
