Not sure which transmission is fading in the afternoon, but on many a station, there isn’t a ‘sound level man’ as such. A self op studio is typically connected directly to the transmitter, relying on a limiter-compressor to manage levels.

Even the self op studio is facing redundancy. At least one popular local station round these parts consists just of a PC in the manager’s house. The audio goes over the internet to a local church with a high spire which is ideal for transmitter and antenna. Results are impressively professional.
