In early-2022 WVCH Radio, City, Chester, Penna. changed its call letters to present WJFP

[@DrewTechner]

@RVDMISSISSAUGAKID, CBL was heard here in Philly because of night-time ionospheric propagation. During the day it could not be heard, so local WVCH would sign on at sunrise and sign-off at sunset. On this recording, you can hear CBL in the background during both of these dawn or dusk times. However, during mid-day hours, CBL could not heard at all. WVCH had to sign off at sunset to "protect" CBL's night-time signal.

I think they are still a daytime station

[@DrewTechner]

The station was a religious broadcaster. I think they still are. Thank you very much for enjoying the video.

[@georgebrusstar2539]

The station was just sold for $500k.

[@DrewTechner]

Really. Will it change format?

[@georgebrusstar2539]

@@DrewTechner Yes, going Talk from a small network operated by Richmond host John Fredericks. So I suppose the "numbering" of each WVCH broadcast day will end somewhere in the 26,000s soon.
