Crystal Lake, Illinois:
Days: Very simple. All WGN all the time. Stick is about 25 miles from my location. But about to be moved. Transmitter site sold because the real estate is more valuable than what's on it. "Stay tuned"!
Nights: Nothing but WGN recently.
Retro: In the rather distant days, a pest from Cuba usually took over 720 when WGN was off. I also heard CHTN from Prince Edward Island once or twice. CHTN has since migrated to FM.
Other location. The Cuban may also be gone. Or perhaps at significantly reduced. At least on the Gulf where I am this week. I haven't heard much else of consequence other than WGN. The net result this past week as been that WGN has been the strongest nighttime signal from Chicago, During daytime here, a very weak WRZN from the Ocala, FL is usually present....if you're right on the beach.
On my trips to London, 720 has always been BBC radio 4 (Talk shows). Only 1kw (or less), but enough to put a city grade signal over the center city.
