Hmm... One wonders whether this will be a temporary loss or whether it will be used as an excuse to cease AM broadcasting. The only other Bahamian medium-wave outlet, 810 AM, is not such a solid signal as 1540 was and here at least, is inaudible during the day and wiped out by XERB and Caracol (Bogota) at night. 1540 was a solid copy 24/7.

Nope, theyre going to rebuild... "only the sun covers the bahamas better.. Zed En Ess One" is a liner they used to run. ZNS1 is considered the national public service broadcaster and vital in emergency situations
