[BC] Radio station ignoring rules

Methinks it is a MISSING automation system! From what I could determine, the phones haven been disconnected for such a long time that the numbers have even been reassigned. There is some programming that purports to come from Boston which they simulcast in the daytime. However, in the nighttime it is dead air, with an hourly identification of "ESPN 980!" 980 kHz is their flagship station in Washington, DC. Their Boston satellite is 890 kHz and the WLLH ID doesn't use the Boston one. It uses the Washington, DC one! It's really weird, like somebody just connected the transmitter to the Washington network feed and walked away!

Cheers,

m the 890 studios, but obviously it isn't being done that way.

I did some work for WAMG-890 and WLLH-1400 some years back.  Their
programming is in parallel and from the Schrafft Center Building studios.  I
believe they do use an STL for program delivery.  If there was dead air on
1400, it may have been an automation issue.  I think they used Scott Studios
at that time.  The people with whom I primarily worked are no longer there.
