Never heard Howie today (11/18/20). WHYN 560 was all screwed up today... at times they announced the station as WTAG out of Worcester, MA. Someone other than Howie was on.

It was strange... not sure what was going on. Hope Howie is back on Thursday.

hmm that’s weird but iHeart is known
for glitches.
I think Howie is on WPOP 1410 Hartford
but that may not have the best signal.

Boston
WRKO 680 Howie 3-7 pm iHeart
WXKS 1200 Hannity 3-6 pm iHeart

Springfield/Holyoke
WHYN 560 Howie 3-7 pm iHeart

Worcester
WTAG 580 Jordan Levy 3-6pm iHeart
WCRN 830 Howie 3-7 pm Carter Broadcasting
(It has been noted Levy is getting up
there in years.Would iHeart get the
rights to put Howie on WTAG instead?)

Hartford
WPOP 1410 Howie 3-6 pm iHeart

If you’re using an analog radio—that
is no digital display saying frequency
you may have had WTAG 580 on instead.
Not sure how well 580 comes in where
you are.
But iHeart is known for glitches in
automation etc.You can hear an ad and a
newscast or part of a program playing
at the same time. Not long ago it was
a sunny day and WRKO’s weather report
was mentioning storms in the area.
Actually they ran the previous day’s
weather report by mistake.
iHeart runs with as few people as possible
and there’s not always people around
to catch mistakes.

Someone once emailed them to mention
the “two things playing at once” and
were told “we’re using a new automation
system and didn’t do it right”.

You may not listen to WRKO on a stream
but for this week Vinnie Penn is
filling in on the noon time slot.
Vinnie does mornings on iHeart’s
WELI 960 in New Haven.
