WMGM THOUGHT IS NOT OPERATING AT 50,000 WATTS RIGHT NOW THOUGH

The question remains as to how soon will WMGM 103.7 get back up to 50,000 watts? Before the fire, I picked up their signal on my New York roof antenna pointing southeast from Northeast Philadelphia on their sideband frequency 103.6. The signal was fantastic in mono though. I was getting an "A " signal. Now, I can't get them at all. What is their wattage right now. It must be no more than 1000 to 3000 watts. Are they using the transmitting tower on top of the Trump Hotel on the boardwalk or are they on their regular tower opposite the Atlantic City Expressway?
 
As per Tom's post below, WMGM is using WPUR's backup.WPUR's backup is 440 watts from atop the Taj Mahal (131 meters).The current site is:- 5 miles East of WMGM's normal site.- 49,560 watts less than WMGM's normal site.- 73 feet higher than WMGM's normal site.- non-directional (WMGM normally has a 20Kw null to the North-East).Despite the low power, transmitting from atop one of the tallest buildings in New Jersey is not a bad deal!I am getting near-perfect reception of WMGM here, some 25 miles North of Atlantic City. Even the "STEREO" lite comes on using my walkman.
