audible: 341 DNI DeNIson TX, 344 JL JopLin MO, 385 HO HOt Springs AR
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Dec 18 at 1548, S8/S9 of dead air again/still? from
WRMI-3. Sked 1530-1600 M-F is `School of the Spirit`. Others 17790.
15770, 9395 are undead. Something`s odd at Okee (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 1550 kHz, Dec 18 at 0755 UT, ``The Christmas Station, -- --,
107.5`` - could not make out the non-ID, but NRC AM Log shows the only
107.5s on 1550 are TWO stations in nearby Missouri: KESJ Saint Joseph
U2 2500/500 CLR ``Joe Town 107.5`` and: KRZD Springfield U1 5000/28
AC/OLD, ``Bob FM``. Obviously one is temporarily holiday-stunting.
KESJ website https://www.joetown1075.com/ is Xmas-themed but don`t see
that slogan per se. KRZD website nothing about that:
https://mytown-media.com/stations/107-5-bob-fm/
Both of them stream, so at 1656 UT I hear KESJ with that slogan ``The
Christmas station, Joe-Town 107.5`` - to be certain I then listen to
KRZD stream: not Xmasmx, and 1702 ID only as Bob FM (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
