Something similar and equally mind-blowing
Before last June, Wichita had two major stations, one classic (that also had Bob and Tom in the morning) and one contemporary. Then in June, the owner company just decides to kill the two stations out of nowhere, and for a couple of days, all they had on the two stations was eerie space music with voices saying "Change is coming to [this frequency], stay tuned" and such, and the paper had a big article on how things were supposed to change
The big change?
...they just swapped the frequencies (albeit with new call letters)
The top 40 station went to the classics freq, playing the same old new crap as before, and the classic/Bob and Tom station went over to the top 40 freq, and in doing so, they limited their playlist even worse than before, since the old classics would at least play from 70's to 90's, while the new one only plays shit from the 70's and maybe early 80's. On top of that, the old classic station at least had Alice Cooper's Nights, which brought much variety (I heard the likes of Slayer, Iron Maiden and Satriani within a ten minute span), but variety is apparently verboten in this new world, and Nights was ditched in the move.
The only stations on my radio anymore are the classic one only when Bob and Tom airs and the comedy/sports AM station
