‘Billy Buck’ Blevins’ Signal Hill Media Partners has begun operating Silent 770 WYRV/95.1 W236DQ Cedar Bluff VA and will flip it to Country “Kat Country 770/95.1“.
With an official launch coming on Friday, May 1, the new brand will feature some programming from Signal Hill’s other stations in Western North Carolina including Blevins’ morning show based at WAME Statesville NC, Marshall University basketball and football, and Carolina Panthers football.
WYRV had previously featured Southern Gospel programming until filing a Silent STA earlier this year after the passing of owner Earl Cole.

XECPTB-1630 is running test transmissions this afternoon, presumably at 10kW. They had been silent since their old (XEUT) license expired in October of 2022. Slogans are “Radio UABC” and “UABC Radio.” They are giving a multi-station ID which still uses their old call letters (XEUT).

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.

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.)

Another new Dutch LPAM station is about to start. Official frequency 1179 kHz, tests last evening and night on 1206 kHz. Excellent signal in southern Finland, despite being just 50 watts. Love the QSL design!

Additional BBC MW broadcasts to Iran.
Alongside the existing 702 (from Oman) and 1395 (from Armenia), the BBC has now added 720 (from Cyprus) and 1296 (from Tajikistan) for its Persian broadcasts.
