Radio True North, 6940am, 9-6-12, SINPO 25231
Lots of crash and noise here too, but a surprisingly strong RTN signal off the backside of my ewe.

Hard to pull out details of music.
0335z - sounds like a dance tune - clear bass beat

0405z - ID

Most times & frequencies posted are only an approximation.
Wishing the 1980's PopComm was still around.
