How long before this happens?

[Dan.Strassberg]

You are aware, aren't you? that WAZN 1470 carries MOYL 'round the clock on
weekends (although the station recently started selling some of that time)
and 6:00PM to 6:00AM (yes, overnight) Monday thru Friday. A whole bunch of
Arthur Liu's other AMs around the country have similar arrangements. The
feed began a couple of months ago. There were serious audio problems for a
while but those were eventually resolved. Within the past couple of weeks,
however, I've noticed that MOYL is again coming to us over a background of
ac-line related hum. I'm not sure, but MOYL may not be the only feed on WAZN
that is plagued by hum.
