Maybe he means that it's "off"....
I noticed yesterday afternoon that there was a carrier, but no audio. It was still off this morning, but I did not get a chance to check for the local (automation) ID at TOH. So, not sure if they just lost the incoming feed, STL, or whatever.

Audio was back yesterday, when I tuned in at 3:00 PM. They even had a local newscast.

Back on? Dang, just as I was thinking ol' Ralph had come to his senses and decided to stop broadcasting Chinese government propaganda.
Incidentally, I listened to a music/news program on that station a couple weeks ago. The Chinese may own us, but they sure suck at radio.

I wonder if anyone involved really cares how good the quality of the programming is. Ralph Carlson is getting paid to clear the programming and doesn't have to do much other than maintain the technical plant. Mainland China wants to get their propaganda out and available, whether anyone's listening or not. For the business partners involved, it's a win-win. I'd find it hard to believe many people are listening, so for the listening public is a lose, but the US is a free country (unlike mainland China.)

I just wish that all stations would get back to their journalistic roots, and do real news. Happy Talk, propaganda, and general "BS-ing around" just doesn't cut it.
I want news to be NEWS, and entertainment to be ENTERTAINMENT.
Lately, I've been really missing the old Al Jazerra, which focused on NEWS of the middle east and Asia. The e-mail synopsis that I've been getting from them as "Al Jazerra America" seems to be so far from truth, it makes "RT" look like a fan club for the red, white and blue.

Hmm... happy Christmas.
Thanks for the info., guys, even though I guess maybe nobody knew ahead of time that this was going to happen.
How come people aren't submitting these to CAwas here for them to go into the Breaking News area?
