This has to be one of the weirder things I've seen outside of Dxing itself, as the 850 KOA Denver radio coverage of the Rockies baseball game was introduced twice, within a 30 minute time frame, for... a test. I am all for making sure people have working access to emergency information, but this comes across as a glitch to me. Also, I'd bet some Rockies fans were not thrilled to be interrupted not once, but twice. Not only that, it was grossly inconsistent too.
So, with my Radiwow R-108 in hand, I noticed the first test to be around 7:30pm. KHOW and KOA took part in the test, but KDFD just went their own way here. (So how is this universal, again?) It's worth noting that the Rockies simulcast on 1240 KFBC had no test to mess with the game, ironically enough. (I thought KOA was a "flagship station" for the Rockies) The second test would begin around 8 to 8:15pm, again interrupting KOA'S coverage of the game. This time, I forgot to check the other channels. C'mon Denver, get it together!
So if KOA had to partake in the test TWICE, and KDFD skipped out on it, then there needs to be some serious conversations here about the state of radio. Just my take, I suppose.
