We are currently entering our spring "sun outage" period, which will affect some of the afternoon and evening programming on KROE as well as our ESPN Radio station, KYTI HD-2. Sun outages affect satellite-delivered programs twice a year (spring and fall) as the sun's arc moves across the area in the sky at which our satellite dishes are aimed.

A comment was posted on our site recently asking why reception of KROE is worse after 10 PM than it is during the day. I thought the explanation for this might be interesting to other listeners as well so I am posting it as a commentary for this week. The listener who posted the comment noted that most AM stations reduce power at night, but they weren't sure about the reason for this.

I found this on the internet. You know you're an aging DJ when:

You excitedly turn the radio up at the sound of "dead air" on the competitor's station.

Sales guys wore Old Spice to cover the smell of liquor.

You were playing Elvis' number one hits when he was alive.

You worked for only ONE station, and you could name the guy who owned it.
