Something there with a female announcer and music. It's barely getting over the noise.

Not sure of your location, but that sounds like Celestial Radio out of NYC. A well known ethnic music and religious station that has been around for years now.

I've heard Celestial before. What I could hear didn't sound like their format.

From the heading of the loop I'm thinking it was one of the South Florida guys? However,NYC isn't completely out of the question as the backside of the loop isn't that far off the heading for the NYC metro area.
