WVAE/Biddeford, ME now simulcasting WGAN

Thanks for the heads-up.

They did post this on their site: http://am1400and1490.com/2013/02/25/whats-happened-to-am-1400/

Interesting that they didn't bother changing their logo. Nothing but complaints in the comments. Was WGAN's coverage in Biddeford-Saco really so bad that it was worth sacrificing 1490's programming in York County? The website still mentions that Boston Bruins play-by-play is on AM 1400 and 1490. If that is the case, I wonder if any other sports programming will be carried over such as the Yankees.
 
Interesting move. I live way up the coast (or is it "down"?), where WGAN's signal reaches all the way to Bucksport and Blue Hill. But I've noticed that when I travel south to Massachusetts, it pretty much loses its oomph by the time I get to Kittery. I've never seen the station's signal pattern map, but I presume the signal is oriented N/NE to protect WHYN. To that extent, I guess the format change at WVAE makes sense, at least during the daylight hours. Does it broadcast with 250 watts at night?
