Has anybody else noticed a weird anomaly that’s been plaguing AM 640 in the past few weeks? I’m not even sure how to describe it beyond that it’s an “audio hiccup” in which something the host says is repeated as if it were being played again.
 
I heard it the other day when the morning show host used the words “ask for an apology,” after which the word “apology” was immediately repeated – but not live by the host. It was clear it was in essence an exact replay of what he’d just said, and not somebody saying the word again. "Ask for an apology. apology" is how it sounded on air. 
 
It happened again that same morning when I tuned back in to hear the phone number being given out. But instead of repeating, what listeners heard was an obvious drop out.  "870- Star 640," is what went out live. Part of the original broadcast had simply been dropped.
 
I heard it for yet another time on Friday, when that weird repetition occurred, followed seconds later by a drop out of words in the middle of a spot. It's often quite subtle but it's definitely there. 
 
I’m hardly a techie, but my suspicions lie with the equipment that provides the delay. Could it be malfunctioning in some way? It’s not a constant thing, but it happens often enough that it’s becoming very noticeable when it does.
 
And since those behind the scenes are likely monitoring the studio feed, they may not even be aware it’s happening. But this is now going into the second or third week. It’s certainly odd and whatever it is, it hasn’t been fixed.
