General Radio Discussion / Red Apple Media (WABC 770 AM NYC) looks to buy more northeast stations
« on: July 10, 2025, 0936 UTC »
As noted on the board earlier, the purchase by Red Apple Media of a northern NYC suburban station, WRCR, is perplexing as WABC can be heard in WRCR's coverage footprint and is now relaying WABC. The potential expansion certainly flies in the face of radio trends these day - Good Luck, Mr. Cats!
Would have been a curious situation had Red Apple acquired WCBS 880 AM, as story notes. Two 50,000 watt Class A stations - though night time reception varies - WABC better south and west, WCBS better north and east.

I'm guessing on frequency a lot of atmospheric noise, music sneaking above noise floor on peaks. Maybe Stern?
1719 Hard rock
1726 Music continues, Shazam barely pulled out "Satanized" Ghost after numerous attempts dealing with noise
1742 "Pretty" Verona on Venus, big jump up on reception
1750 OM speaks, I think smoking transmitter phrasing - very noisy again

Very good reception, Farsi Service, from Woofferton. Looks like one portion of RFE/RL is back to work. Nothing like a crisis to get transmitters humming.
