The AM 1110 in Salem NH. It's supposed to be directionalized to the north to
protect another Spanish-language station, WPMZ E Providence. But my
listening makes me suspect that they've (illegally) ditched the directional,
which would make sense because their target audience lives in Lawrence and
Lowell--"behind" the pattern. WNNW eats WADN alive during the day once you
get a short way past Burlington Mall on Middlesex Turnpike and it does the
same on 128 as you head east past Woburn. I can also get WNNW quite clearly
on my car radio here in Arlington Heights, whereas I didn't used to. I note
that WNNW seems to have post-sunset authority. They sign off at what I
assume to be Charlotte sunset. They just cut the program in the middle of
whatever they're playing and don't bother with an ID. I don't know when, if
ever, they cut the carrier.
