Well Tom,
   As Robert M. here on the list would say, they do it because they can
and they want to.

   Around here, I've noticed some the daytimers are staying on with day
power past 4:30 PM, December Sunset Time, and NOT reducing power at 4:30
PM. My station, along with WTNK, WHIN, WNSG, WEEN, and WENO in this
market are all doing what we are suppose to do, reduce power at sunset
or turn it off for the night. WNSG and WENO have to turn it off for the
night. WMRO, WTNK, WEEN and WHIN just have to reduce power.

Scott

Subject: [BC] Christmas Special Authority?

Friend of mine likes to listen to his old "All American Five" when he is
puttering around on something in his basement at night.

Last night, around 7~8, well after dark, he heard WBKZ, Jefferson
(Athens) Georgia completely overriding WCBS, the normal station heard
here in southern Ohio.

They were running live programming, not automated. So somebody  didn't
just "forget" to turn the carrier off. 

FCC CDBS says 5 kw-Non-D Day.  No nighttime power. 
FCC handing out special Christmas STA's now? And what is the going
gratuity rate to get one?

(Not the only daytimer left on frequently, he frequently hears  WXLZ,
St. Pauls, VA in the evening over WRVA, as well as something behind 670
Chicago and 770 New York.  Some of the latter signals may be Cuban.)
