I have also just noticed this station (I spend most of my time on the lower end of the band)

I would suspect it would have only been in the past few weeks, I first logged it on Wednesday this week.

When Cumulus Media’s 1230 WFAS White Plains NY turns on its new all-digital signal on Monday, May 24, it will do so with an all new Talk lineup.
Positioning as “New Talk For New York”, WFAS will clear many syndicated talkers currently lacking clearances in the market. The station will carry “America In The Morning” hosted by John Trout from 6-7am and again from 8-9am. In between will be Michael Toscano’s “First Light” from 7-8am.

WNJC 1360 AM DX Tests.
So I wanted to pass along our plan for the month of June. As I like to do things no one else has done before and WNJC is still operational, we will be doing a 1 hour High Octane DX test at midnight EDT for the entire month of June. We will be operating at daytime power and direction during these tests. More information will be available as we get closer. For July, I am planning a 7 day midnight to 5am hybrid DX test. This will be sweeps and cw along with FT8 audio together. I am also planning on doing a 4th of July special “Independence Day” DX Test 8pm to 6am EDT test that will include a special QSL card. Looking forward to some more DX tests!!

Cluster News Director Amanda Mangan will now follow with “Tri-State Today” from 8 to 10am. The company’s regionally syndicated “Metronews Talkline” hosted by Hoppy Kercheval will air from 10am to 12pm. The remainder of the WCMD lineup will continue to feature programming from ESPN Radio as well as play-by-play of MLB’s Washington Nationals, NHL’s Washington Capitals, and NFL’s Baltimore Ravens.
