WFME Family Radio has left 1560 kHz

 American religious radio station WFME Family Radio has left MW frequency of 1560 kHz.

In late November 2020, Family Radio announced the sale of the property surrounding WFME's broadcast towers in Queens, but stipulated that the terms included that Family Radio would still use this site until a suitable alternate location for the station was found. However, no alternate site proved to be immediately available, therefore WFME in early 2021 ended regular programming and began broadcasting a recurring announcement that the station would suspend operations "in just a few days". Although Family Radio officials expressed a desire to eventually return to the New York airwaves, they noted that there were no immediate plans; listeners were directed to access either WFRS in Smithtown and WFME-FM in Mount Kisco, in addition to the Family Radio webstream (Wikipedia).

It is pity, because WFME was one of the most easy to catch MW stations from NA here, in Ukraine.

WFME - 1560 kHz - 20th of January 2018 - 06.00 - 06.15 UTC - reception with Degen DE-1103 and its telescopic whip antenna:
