KDAV 1590 kHz (Lubbock, TX) recently changed ownership and it's format, being taken over as part of the "High Plains Radio Network."
That started March 30, 2015 at 11am , with a couple of the announcers there saying what seemed like a very abrupt goodbye to their listeners. Then the station started airing "the change is coming" promos announcing the new network, on an endless loop, 24/7. No station ID on the hour.
I thought they were supposed to be airing the original format until April 1st, but it seemed like they were quickly forced off the air, so that promos could be played over and over 24/7.
As of 9am April 16 it's still the endless station promo, and no station identification. Seventeen days of this now. Did the FCC do away with the requirement to give hourly station identification? And aren't stations required to air some sort of real programming?
