This is the likely answer. Some radio and TV stations leave them on all the time, and to the untrained, it would sound like they were broadcasting on these channels, which is not the case. The database shows no license for these frequencies in NJ, in fact they fall in between allocated channels, maybe they're new narrowband allocations.

I get studio links for AM stations on FM freqs as I am LOS from the city center to the local mountaintop antanna cluster.


The other thing may be one of those hearing-impared service radios. I have no idea what band they pick up. but it is just a thought to throw out there.

i a picking up an am radio station on 152.780 calling them selves "1050am Federal news radio" but the part i dont dont understand is why, and where is 1050 federal news radio.

also I am picking up Bloomberg radio also on 1050am on 152.570. does any one know why?

thanks

PGM, you dont specify in your lacation where Maywood is, gussing from your avatar NJ? If so that's quite a catch!

As Great Lakes pointed out Federal News Radio is WFED licensed to Silver Spring MD. The studios are the same location as WTOP in NW DC and are owned by Bonneville International. WFED programming is geared toward US Government employees. Both WTOP and WFED features business news from Bloomberg Radio.

Why you're hearing an apparent STL on that freq is beyond me..... may be worth a little research in the FCC database.

Don, please explain "flop and twitch"; thanks!
