660 kHz WFAN (a clear channel New York station) mysteriously goes silent during a basketball broadcast- you can see it go dark where I happened to catch it.

A quick check of other SDRs (nope, dark everywhere). A quick check of the Internet broadcast, all OK.

Does anyone in the southern or middle US states remember listening to the KAAY AM radio station in Little Rock Arkansas (this was in the late ‘60’s)? I could pick it up at night in southern Mississippi where I briefly lived.

At night they would air a show called Bleaker Street or something like that. They played what was considered psychedelic music at the time like Flock of Seagulls’ “White Bird”, Traffic, Vanilla Fudge, Hendricks, etc…

📻 In today's thrilling episode of "Let's Make Sure the #FCC Hates Us," some genius figured out how to turn a Raspberry Pi #Pico into a laughably illegal AM radio transmitter. 🤦‍♂️ Because who wouldn't want to use their #tinkering skills to broadcast static and white noise over the airwaves? Genius, truly. 💡

if you werent at the #FCC in bad faith, you would at least enforce this on #AMradio 1/10th of one percent of what you have subjected #JimmyKimmel and #Stephencolbert to.

Stephen Colbert taped a “Late Show” interview with James Talarico, a candidate in the Democratic Senate primary in Texas, on Monday. But CBS lawyers intervened before the interview could air on TV.
