WOGL 98.1 only broadcasting on the left channel

WOGL 98.1 is only broadcasting on the left channel. No audio at all on the right channel and I know it is not just my radio or my headphones, because I tried every radio I had.
Never knew a CBS owned station would screw up this bad. Their audio is weak and flat as hell too.
 
I'm surprised they still do that. I remember that issue many years ago, and assumed it was my receiver, until I began to notice that true stereo songs were where the issue took place. The fact that they still play through one channel after all these years tells me it that mono's "fake stereo" needs to return.
 
I've noticed it on other stations such as the now-defunct 102.9 The Big D in Hartford. Songs such as "Bus Stop" and "Kiss it Goodbye". They were owned by Buckley Radio. Then in 2015 a small AM station in suburban Hartford (owned by Davidson Media Group) picked up the Oldies format. They had the same problem as The Big D did with "Bus Stop." Eventually they fixed it. They have since been sold and added an FM translator I don't know if they still play "Bus Stop", but they just played "Kiss it Goodbye" earlier this morning with no issues.

With both those stations, it was only certain songs that triggered the one-channel problem. The one it was most obvious on on DRC-FM was "I Saw Her Again," on which Mama Cass' lead vocal was completely absent. From what the OP writes, it would seem that WOGL's problem affected every song played.
