I don't know...not sure...i read some where online they upgraded their power signal to 7000 Watts in late June..
I live in Flushing, Queens and have a GE Superradio. My reception of WMTR was not too good after sundown last night.

Let us set the record straight. WMTR has been 7000 watts at night for several years. Most of that is dumped southeast into Raritan Bay using 4 towers. Again, a jump from 5 to 7 kW is not even 3dB (or one half of an "S" unit), which would require a jump to 10kW. Unless you're a fish, it's of little help.
As the late Herb Michaels, former owner of WKMB, once observed..Few people even bother with radio at night. It is the chief reason why Herb didn't want to spend the money to take the station into nighttime hours.
