I could hardly believe my ears: the ``liberal`` Ed Schultz talk show on an OK
station? There he is on 1600, March 26 at 2107 UT talking about how he`s about
to get flooded out of Fargo. Usual daytime groundwave signal from KUSH in
Cushing, but to be positive, I got a local ad and ID at 2159-2200; around 2208
they were doing local news or PSAs – hard to tell which. Toward the end of the
previous hour Schultz had David Schuster on, for whom he substituted on MSNBC`s
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, this Monday, I think, and Schultz is going back to
guest there on Friday.
During the hour, QRM increased from KRVA 1600 in The Metroplex, with a
190/minute SAH (3.17 Hz), in Vietnamese, and also a slight audible het from
elsewhere I have yet to nail down.
Meanwhile I noticed a gaping hole on 1580 with semi-local KOKB Blackwell OK off
the air at 2107 and still past 2200. Is it really off? At 2201 checked 1020 for
normally // KOKP Perry OK, and briefly they were, with a reverb between them in
Talksports Network, but that must have been something else, as not // a minute
later when KOKP was doing a Ponca City commercial; and at 2205, 1580 had
weather without any local references heard, and then ID as ``The Sports Hog,
103.1 and 1580 AM`` so despite reference to Oklahoma City, a later one to
Arkansas clinched this as KKHG Van Buren AR, listed as sports format in NRC AM
Log, but lacking the 103.1 and slogan info. I understand some Arkansas
sillyballgame team is porcine, and they`re proud of it!
KOKB 1580 back on at 1522 UT check March 26.
