Longwave Loggings / 450 khz (between LW and MW) Bloomberg Radio at 3:36 on July 10, 2021 UTC

« on: July 10, 2021, 0445 UTC »

Apologies if this is something obvious and/or already discussed, but tonight I stumbled upon broadcasting in English on 450 AM. Listening between 336 and 410 UTC, the signal intermittently improved, and I clearly IDed the program content as live Bloomberg Radio, comparing it to the Bloomberg internet stream and hearing clear IDs on 450 khz. The contents of the transmission ran about 34 to 35 seconds ahead of what was on the internet official stream for Bloomberg Radio. News, interviews, weather, sports, ads (for NY and NJ businesses mostly). Any thoughts on the reason for this signal here?
