WTZA 1010 AM is back on as Radio Punjab affiliate

[1030khz]

I noticed today (5/27/2020) that WTZA (1010 AM) is back on the air again as a 'Radio Punjab' affiliate. It is simulcasting the network which originates at KRPU 1210 AM serving the Sacramento, CA market with a South Asian format for Indian and Pakistani listeners. There are some commercials in English but for other markets. 'Radio Punjab' has a number of affiliates scattered on the west coast (Seattle, Tacoma, Fresno, Bakersfield). Although, when I checked the 'Radio Punjab' website and Facebook pages I do not yet see any mentions about the Atlanta market.

Is the 102.1 FM translator carrying 'Radio Punjab' too? I can not usually get this signal all the way in the northeast part of town in Buford.

102.1 doesn't seem to be on the air.

No local Station IDs. I thought it might be a pirate at first. Perhaps someone kicking the tires. They really need to ID legally though. Can't get away with this in with 50 KW in #8 market for long.

They did have a legal ID at 1:00 pm today BUT it was for KTXV AM 890 from Dallas, TX. This was another Radio Punjab affiliate that I failed to mention in my previous post. So they must be feeding from a web stream of that station.

I think they were also at 50 KW all night

WTZA is I think daytime

So it would seem to have night of .8 kw.They should get sighted for ID issue .
