There were a couple HD Radio station changes in Dallas/Fort Worth as of today, mostly on 2 HD2 subchannels.
- KZPS 92.5 HD2: It isn't much of a change as the Adult Alternative format is still sticking around (YES!). However, the on-screen ident is changed from "The Summit" to "World Class Rock", and the top-of-the-hour station ident has a new voiceover. Come to think about it, iHeartRadio's "World Class Rock" has been rebroadcasting on 92.5 HD2 (albeit in a delay) as I've discovered last year, it's just now simulcasting. Also the "New Music" sound bite is streamlined with WCR's. In other words, instead of just "New Music", it's "[Beeping & Trilling] New Music". (Some of y'all may not understand most of what I'm saying, but it's what I know). Also the audio quality is a bit better from the slightly soft/grainy quality under "The Summit".
- KDGE 102.1 HD2: Previously, it was "Old School Edge". The format has changed once again after over a year. Though it looks like they're stunting, because you can't exactly count "Troublemaker" by Weezer and "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons as "Old School Edge" music. At first, I was hearing one of the classic alternative tracks from Papa Roach. But then I saw the on-screen ident as "Sixx Sense with Nikki Sixx" in between songs. Come to find out, they're also airing recent episodes from...yep, you've guessed it..."Sixx Sense with Nikki Sixx". As of right now, they're airing various rock tracks from the 1970s (via Led Zeppelin) to right now. What will the future hold for this station? You're guess is as good as mine, but if you have an HD Radio, it's a station to keep your eyes peeled on should there be any other sudden changes on there.
