Manx Radio recent changes on 1368 kHz

The 1368 kHz transmitter at Foxdale in the Isle of Man has now partly reverted to carrying the FM feed of Manx Radio on weekdays, it appears.  This is for regulatory reasons as Manx Radio’s content has fallen below the station’s commitment to provide at least 40% speech on both AM and FM, for which they had been given a warning.  The station, after all, gets around 2 million euro worth of public subsidy a year!

As far as I can work out, Manx Radio Gold is now being broadcast only between 04:45 and 12:00 local time and after 24:00 for the fifteen minutes left on air Foxdale has.  Weekends appear to be unchanged, i.e. Manx Radio Gold is on all the time, except for coverage of FC Isle of Man, sport, religious broadcasts etc. 
An article from local news site Isle of Man Today goes into detail as to this situation: https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/regulator-finds-manx-radio-breached-public-service-remit-962272

Cumulus Media has flipped CHR “Hot 98.9” 1120 WBBF/98.9 W255DH Buffalo NY to Sports “ESPN Buffalo“.

The move brings ESPN Radio network programming back to Buffalo for the first time since Audacy dropped it from 1520 WWKB exactly five years ago today.

WBBF will carry Buffalo Bills produced programming including the team’s “One Bills Live” from 10am to 12pm weekdays. One Bills Live previously aired on Audacy’s 550 WGR from 1-3pm until the franchise announced its plans to take its programming in-house in partnership with Good Karma Brands after the 2025 season. The show will now air on Cumulus’s 1260 WSKO Syracuse and iHeartMedia’s 1280 WHTK Rochester in addition to WBBF and MSG Network.

On September 8th, 0500 UTC I heard WMLB 1690 AM Avondale Estates simulcasting WCPT 820 AM. On the hour the WMLB ID was hear like this:  “You are listening to a simulcast of Chicago’s progressive talk from Heartland Signal on WMBL Avondale Estates”   

Rodney Gibbs, Executive Director of Heartland Signal wrote:
“To answer your question: yes, Heartland Signal now operates WMBL 1690 AM in Atlanta. We recently launched the station and are currently simulcasting our Chicago programming. We plan to add original local programming soon.
The Heartland Signal group is now broadcasting WCPT820 AM, KRNF 950 AM Minneapolis and WMLB 1690 AM Atlanta (Avondale Estates).”

According to FCC data Heartland Signal is not yet the owner of WMLB 1690. The licensee is still Disruptor Radio, LLC (John Fredericks). Heartland Signal LLC is listed as the operator (via a Time Brokerage Agreement / LMA). However, an assignment of authorization is pending with the FCC (submitted August 13, 2026, status pending).
