I tuned in and heard Gary McNamara, host of the Midnight Trucking Radio Network, discussing the President’s plan for $2 trillion in new taxation, including higher taxes on gas. He also played a new Ford commercial.
National weather followed on the half-hour. Some of the trucking-related sponsors included DriveNight.com, Delo motor oil from Chevron, Progressive Insurance, Con-way Trucking, Bronco Motors Mitsubushi, Motel 6, Detroit Diesel Engines, Mobil Delvac, and others.
I heard the station ID at the top of the hour, followed by ABC news headlines.
The signal was relatively strong with no interference from other stations, but there was considerable noise. The signal faded to a great extent over the course of the reception.
A short clip of the transmission with station ID can be accessed here.
