We have some news to share about WCBS 880. As of August 25, 2024 at 11:59 pm, WCBS AM has been replaced on this frequency by ESPN Radio station WHSQ. The realities of am radio and the broadcast media landscape have made this change unavoidable. We want to thank our advertising partners, sponsors, and everyone who contributed to this station over the past 100 years, but we especially want to thank you, our listeners. Thank you for welcoming WCBS 880 into your homes, cars, and lives for so many years. Thank you New York for listening to WCBS Newsradio 880.

I was able to hear it in Orlando most nights, much better than the other NYC stations. WCBS will be missed.
And the WHSQ calls make it sound like 880 is affiliated with the Home Shopping Network. Meh.

[@danutbe6541]

1130, 1010 and 710 are every night receivable in Europe
The easiest TA stations

[@NEILEAS]

I got that radio but the fast AM scan goes by 9. Can I change it to 10?

[@marc1178]

1090 might have been WBAL from Baltimore.

[@noahtabor4435]

Yes

[@dvferyance]

I am sure it was but what surprised me is WHPT from Philly was jsut as faint even though Philly is much closer than Baltimore.

[@wx4newengland]

hd radio not as clear as I thought it would be.

[@FloridaTVDX]

The FM feeds sound better. Since all those stations are available over FM HD I dunno why they bother keeping it on AM.

[@crabbyeric900]

Also 1450 is WCTC from New Brunswick

[@TVNewsMan4TVNewsMan4]

WCTC 1450 out of New Brunswick did not come in at Central Park, wow.

[@vwestlife]

Also I was surprised there was no trace of 1250 WMTR from Morristown. Probably he had the radio pointing in the wrong direction to pick those up.

In America is most am station over daytime ?

[@juliegaetos6959]

There are few--though--as some may be clear-channels. Clear-channels are AM/MW freqs. that uses 50 kw (or more in other countries) to receive longer during nights (example is KXEL in Waterloo, Iowa, which can receive in 20 states plus 4 in Canada during nighttime). Not only in America (with Canada and Mexico, to name a few), it includes Asia. Japan, China, North/South Korea, and others did became clear-channels. One who receives a Taiwanese station in the Philippines (mostly in Manila or other adjacent places) needed to re-tune between 1340 to 1355 to receive. OR, at night, one who receives in Seoul some stations from China or Japan can needed higher efficiency to work it (and to eliminate jammers from the North).

1050 used to be ESPN then one day while looking for the World Series it changed to a Spanish station lol.
