We all hope John Batchelor returns soon hopfully to WABC!
Id like to share some great news, along with special THANKS for your patience. 630 WMAL will soon be boosting its broadcast power to 10,000 watts, up from the current 5,000. As we prepare for that move, we must take the radio station off the air periodically, late at night, for transmitter work. Theres a lot of testing, adjusting, and re-adjusting that we must do to ensure that our new, more powerful signal will be in compliance with Federal Communications Commission regulations. Were working as fast as we can and are most grateful for your patience. We cant wait to be back in the business of delivering Coast To Coast AM live, every night, and broadcasting your favorite daytime shows at full power.
Now some more good news! Beginning on Monday, September 4th, 630 WMAL will begin airing Coast To Coast AM Early Edition every weeknight between 10pm and 1am. What Is Early Edition? Its 3 full hours of Coast To Coast AM re-broadcast from the previous night, for those of you who have to get up early and head out to work. Well still broadcast Coast To Coast AM live between 1am and 5am, but were adding a nightly bonus.
Glad to share the good news, and again, thank you for your patience as we work to crank that signal up to 10,000 watts.
Thanks for listening to 630 WMAL.
Best regards,
Paul Duckworth

I guess this is a stopgap for them. If they really are going off the air periodically, then they probably don't mind putting in a temporary fix. I really hope they get Steve, but I don't know if he wants overnights again.
