** U S A. 5935, Dec 21 at 0614, WWCR-2 is very strong with DGS, not unusual, but off-tuning slightly to either sideband I am hearing higher-pitched musical crosstalk!

** U S A. 1010, UT Sun Dec 21 at 0625 UT, gospel huxter preaching in English, loops WSW/ENE, strong and steady, just like 24 hours earlier when Spanish here was from KXXT Tolleson AZ. Its Spanish hours are allegedly only on weeknites, so is this KXXT too, back to English?
Program schedule athttp://www.familyvaluesradio1010.com/ProgramGuideDaily/
shows this is what ought to be on now in MST:
Sat 8:00 PM - 12:00 AM Arizona Sports Network
while 24 hours later it would be more like what we hear:
Sun The Bible Doctrine Hour, 11 pm - midnight
So maybe this is KXEN or something else tonight.
KXXT sked does show its Spanish hours in MST as generically:
M-F 8:00 PM - 6:00 AM Tue-Sat Conexion Cristiana

However, the 2015 NRC AM Log has a much closer if weaker 1010 possibility, KTNZ Amarillo TX which is 5000/500 watts. Wiki shows the 1440 station in AMA as ESPN but admittedly incomplete and out of date: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ESPN_Radio_affiliates
