Gayle Van Horn
830 WCCO Minneapolis MN, 3/4/07, 0345. End of the Minnesota Golden Gophers hockey game, mixing in with a religious station. (Miller) At 0140 Minneapolis, MN. (Line 3 Mar)
830 WTRU Kernersville NC, 3/4/07, 0345-0500. Religious talk, preaching by Charles Stanley, later by R. C. Sproule. Due to constant fading in and out, I never did get a call sign, but the programming matches with the station's schedule per their website. MW#387; NC#7; 830#5. (Miller)
900 CJBR QC Rimouski (p) YL in FF French music u/CHML 3/6 0130 (DT) Comments from Harold: ---CJBR moved to FM in 2001. The only Quebecer on 900 is CKTS Sherbrooke, but they're not FF. It's not unreasonable that any Quebecer might run some FF now and then.
