WJMJ not a 24 hour radio station?

[MarcB]

I was surprised to learn that WJMJ (88.9) isn't a 24 hour radio station. It was about 15 minutes to 4 this morning when I was flipping through the dial and I heard nothing but static on 88.9 FM. WJMJ's signal is almost crystal clear where I am, so I know that it's not my radio.

How could you hear static on 88.9 FM??

They sign off every night at either midnight or 1am. They play America the Beautiful I think and say good night or sommat. And they say what time they sign on but I can't remember when it is either.

Great, now I have a Steely Dan song in my head for the rest of the day (and I was having a good day too)

I thought they were 24 hours as well. If they aren't, they must leave their carrier on because CRIS radio uses their subcarrier as their flagship channel. I believe CRIS is still 24/7.

WJMJ, whether at its main frequencies or the other frequencies noted in their aircheck only stays on overnight on Saturday nights/Sunday mornings. Over that one night a week, they play big band / swing music on the "Nightlight" show hosted by Linda Roberts with hourly news from ABC News. The music is very good, peppier than the stuff heard in Sunday mass. The classical music heard at other times is also good stuff.
