Subject: Radio 4 - Sat.
From: taylor@cs.wmich.edu (Taylor)
Organization: NONE
Some time back, the BBC in their mad desire to replace radio 4 long
wave with an all news channel, offered (or stated) that R4 was going
to be put onto a commercial sattelite (ASTRA ?) as part of regular
transmissions. (I think this was to keep all those people in Europe
who listened to R4 long wave happy).
1. does anyone know whether these plans have been dropped (now that
R5 is being butchered)
2. and if not, where the relevent piece of orbiting junk can be heard
from ?

That was indeed old Uncle Lar, and the year was 1975. Believe it or
not, Superjock could not wriggle out of his CFL contract for six months
following the format change. When he finally did, it was back to WLS,
where he no doubt kicked CFL's ass in the mornings.
As I recall, the CFL gig was afternoons, too. Those people who wonder
why Lujack ever risked 86'ing his career by moving to PM on WLS should
bear in mind that he did it before and was not faring badly -- tho' his
station apparently was.

Just read in DX News that WSCR has applied for 1200 watts night.
They had been turned down for a different nighttime authorization
earlier this year.

On Friday November 5 at 4:00am Central Time (I regularly wake up at
5am as I work out at the YMCA at 6), I heard what sounds like a legal ID:
"WMVP Chicago's Sports 1000 ...".
I thought a US station is required by the FCC to broadcast a legal ID
(call letters and city of license) at +/- 10 minutes within
the top of the hour. That was what was stated in the
AM/FM DXing FAQ on rec.radio.info/rec.radio.shortwave.

Yes, he is...at least from Boston morning radio he is. He was expected
to walk away from 'BCN earlier this fall to join his wife and kids in
Florida.(He flies down there on weekends). However, he needed more time
to care of some business matters like selling his mansion in Dover,Mass
etc...Charles has been dropping alot of on-air hints about moving to
Florida and joking about it with his Mattress sidekicks...I would expect
an official announcement from him any day now...

For what it's worth, WHRB, 95.3, is a Class A COMMERCIAL station.
It may not be well sold, but it is indeed commercial.

I stand corrected. Yes, Harvard Broadcasting's 3KW WHRB-95.3FM is
indeed a commercial station. Of course, no one could ever accuse them of
operating/programming just like any other commercially licensed station in
town...:-)
(The only exception to that might be Cambridge's 'beatiful music' WJIB-740AM(250 KW
during th day and meager 5 watts at night) which is a commercial station
but sells no ads).
I should've categorized 'HRB as a 'college' station along with others I mentioned
playing jazz music on a weekday basis.

Dunno, but WHRV-FM in Norfolk, VA at 89.5 has a daily jazz show. Pretty
good, too.
