Here are a couple of recent format changes

Salem has dropped Spanish on KNTS-1680 and is now conservative talk //KKOL-1300.  The change happened at the somewhat odd time of 7:15 a.m. on March 1.   There was no fanfare or announcements to mark the occasion.   It sounded like someone threw a switch and that was it.  Or more likely, a line of code threw the switch.

Meanwhile, KBSN-1470 Moses Lake WA has switched from newstalk to “Real Country”.   Not sure when it  happened, probably some time in the last month or two.  I first noticed the change a couple weeks ago.
