While vacationing in the Cayman Islands several years ago, about the
only US station I could receive down there was 880 WCBS in the
evenings.

While in Bermuda a few years back, all of the listed NYC stations came
through quite well at night.

If I remember correctly, some NYC stations were coming through in the
evenings down at Disney World in Florida.

That is WBBR, or Bloomberg Business Radio as they prefer to be called.
It's parent is a "business news" company founded by the present mayor
of NYC, Mike Bloomberg. In the evening/early morning, they appear to
have a distinct preference for correspondents with British accents.
BTW, I'm about 60 mi. S of you.

Chicago area here.

660 WFAN

710 WOR

Heard it once or twice, but it's right next to powerhouse WGN 720 here.

770 WBC

Right next to WBBM. Heard quite nicely recently when WBBM went off for
maintenance.

880 WCBS

Close to local WLS 890, but WLS has such a crappy antenna ground that
WCBS can be heard from time to time.

1010 WINS

Too close to 1000 WSCR or whatever it is now.

1050 WEVD

Not audible here.

1130 WBBR

Nope.

1560 WQEW

Seasonal. Used to listen to it regularly when it was a standards
station.

Approx 400 miles south-SW of NYC

660 WFAN

Always listenable, sometimes sounds local: best sports talk in the
country FWIW

710 WOR

Sometimes audible, sometimes not, never real clear

770 WBC

Decent at night, better as night wears on.

880 WCBS

VG at night

1010 WINS

usually good at night but not as clear as CGS and FAN

1050 WEVD

no--didn't even no it was there. 1050 is a mess

1130 WBBR

Bloomberg radio--pretty good at night mostly--you can fall asleep to
Brits reading business news

1560 WQEW

I get pop music here decently but I've never listened long enough to
ID

I'm curious--how do you get WBZ Boston (1030), one of my favorite late
night stations and a blowtorch?

Here near Chicago, they're not strong but they're VERY consistently
receivable year-round.

The best. If you are ever in Boca Raton, Fla., Larry is a "greeter"
at Legal Seafoods Restaurant and going strong.

I used to listen to Larry all the time, when he still had one of the
few late-night nutshows that didn't cover the world (a la Art Bell).
It's great to hear he's still alive and kicking. Does he still do his
hypnosis schtick?

Here in SW Michigan - exactly 90 miles East of Chicago - WBZ'z reception
varies by night from excellent to "distant", but I can always raise
them. When living in Detroit as a boy, WBZ was "local station" clear
*any* night after dark.
