A broadcast (any broadcast) from Pennsylvania was more difficult to locate than I would have expected, considering the relatively short distance to this receiver in Connecticut, but WPHT came in relatively strong around sunset skip, and that's that!
A message for SunToSun.com preceded a station ID, "Talk Radio 1210 WPHT" and a time check at 5:30 PM (Eastern). "The Big Money Report" was read by John Goldenberg, with mention of a strong stock market rally this Columbus Day. A quick plug for Chestnut Hill College accelerated degree programs was read by R.J. McCay.
A brief spot for Apple's iPhone 4S followed, and then a message from (800) JUSTICE, and the weather and traffic reports, read by John Brown. Klein & Specter sponsored the next segment, with a discussion of a missing child in Kansas City.

The signal was consistent but there was a fair amount of noise. At least there was no interference from other stations, and little fading.
A short clip of the transmission with station ID can be accessed here.
(May need to increase the volume control on your computer.)

Here is a virtual screenshot of the receiver
(actually an ICOM PCR-1500 with a 176' dipole and discone antenna,
and an AM loop antenna applied for this reception -- thanks, Tom!)

I sent a request for a QSL via U.S. mail on October 12, 2011.
I will post it here as soon as it arrives.
