Found an article about “Radio Hamaseh” here: 
https://twitter.com/ChrisGreenwayUK/status/2031731056924111302:
“Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB launched a new station, Radio Hamaseh (“Epic”), after the start of the war. IRIB already runs over a dozen national radio stations, plus many local ones and others for listeners abroad. https://mehrnews.com/news/6765865/“

Now very strong on 585 kHz, mp3 with the ID attached, recorded at 2030 UTC (0000 Tehran time). They using the “normal” IRIB interval signal. Overnight sometimes relays Radio Maaref, as previously mentioned here.
The programming mainly contains “Maddahi” songs, reports from demonstrations and wartime news. Maddahi meaning religious and patriotic chants with minimal instruments, you can hear a lot of this on Iranian radio and TV stations nowadays.

Radio Six International via Roumoules [1467 kHz] on Saturday.

The transmission at 2300-2400 on Saturday 28th March will be broadcast at the reduced power of 500 kW instead of previous 1000 kW. This is a test to see if there are any differences in reception quality, especially in Northern Europe. So all reports are welcome, especially if reception can be compared with previous Radio Six transmission with full 1000 kW.
Feedback to M. Pascal Penella, head of Roumoules tx site: ppenella@mmd.mc and Tony Currie: letters@radiosix.com

Thanks for the info: Christian Ghibaudo

Midwest Communications will shut down 1290 WIRL Peoria IL at 12pm on Tuesday, March 31.
The one-time Top 40 powerhouse in the Peoria market in the 1960s and 70s, WIRL has been simulcasting Conservative Talk “Freedom 95.9” W240DM/WPBG-HD3 since February 2022. It previously spent a decade as Oldies from 2013-22, with that programming continuing on “Superhits 102.7” W274BM/WPBG-HD2.

To mark the end of WIRL’s operations, the station will run a week of special programming starting at 7am today with “WIRL Memories” leading to former personality Wayne Miller signing off the station on March 31.

KPUR Amarillo TX 1440 on air again.
Haven’t seen any posts in here about it, but according to the FCC info they resumed operations on March 11. Heard here at the KONG-HQ in Arctic Norway with 95.7 liners and mentions of 957kpur.com, likely on day power the last two nights. C&W format.

ERT NewsRadio war in der Nacht wieder auf 729 kHz zu hören. Für das starke Signal ist die Modulation aber etwas leise.
(ERT NewsRadio was back on air last night on 729 kHz. The modulation is a bit quiet for such a strong signal.)

We apologise for the absence of our medium wave transmission on 1467kHz tonight. The engineers were unable to get the transmitter to operate on the UK beamed antenna. Hopefully we’ll be on 1467 next Saturday at 2300GMT!
