** NORTH AMERICA. 6955 USB, Dec 9 at 2258, hard rock pirate music, S9+22. 2321.6 SSTV, 2322.7 more music, no voice announcements heard but not listening continually; 2345 still going; 2358.7 DJ closing Thunder Chicken but playing one more tune, ``Always Look on the Bright Side of Life` by Monty Python`` until 2402.6* with some misc. noises, clux.

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, KUCO-FM, sent to them Dec 9, times CST = UT -6: I wonder, what in the world is going on with KUCO programming? Stardate has been failing to appear at 9:58 am. Today at 10 am Friday, The Score, instead of 2 pm. Before 3 pm and from 3:07 pm, some unknown woman announcer with classical, from where? Unseems WCPE. Kimberly`s recorded top-of-hour KUCO ID. At 3:02, A Day to Remember instead of 3:06. Then Kent Anderson briefly as if he were live, before back to the unknown woman. She never gives her name nor hints what syndicated classical music service this is. Another try to hear Stardate at previously scheduled repeat 6:58 pm -- instead, `Exploring Music` is ending! Supposed? to start at 7 pm, but must now be at 6 pm. Then at 7 pm, Symphonycast, also an hour earlier than had been. Is the automation all screwed up? Or has the new boss decided to shake everything up without even telling us on the website schedule and playlists? As with canceling abruptly Weekend Radio? Regards, Glenn Hauser, Enid (Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Dec 9 at 2300, token English from REE, S9+35/40 direct, much better than // 12030, 11940, 11685.
