For a time, separate programs on WHET were on only in the daytime, and the
classical simulcast continued at night, with a joint ID.  I don't remember
how long that lasted.  I was rather upset at not being able to listen to
classical music in my car and eventually bought an FM converter for my car
radio.  Of course, the next car had an AM-FM radio in it.
