It's just a reworking of the stunting. Heard Keith Urban's version of Guitar Man followed by..."Get ready, something BIG is coming to 105.1 HD3". Then Back in the Saddle again Now it's Tennessee Ernie Ford "16 Tons". It's country not Yacht Rock.

Stunting on KKGO HD3

Bass Boat Country?🤣
Don't forget "Summer Place '76"!
What type of items are needed to capture, get the total #, rotation math, parse sort?
Hardware, Software?
Are you going off the stream or HD directly? I'm hearing songs from Keith Urban's new Yacht Rock inspired covers album on the stream.
And now one of the "Something Big is coming to 105.1 HD3" sweepers.
I use the M3U stream, then copy & paste into text, play in VLC as a playlist; or I could play in a browser. I prefers apps. I have thousands upon thousands of streams I inspect to get the current stream myself. I get every format's stream, since I'm already doing the labor.

I like a good station stunt as much as anyone, but is there really a purpose for one on an HD-3 channel that will basically be run as a public service, since advertising is likely to be minimal?
I don't understand what the holdup could possibly be. All of Saul's other HD flips usually happen fairly quick after any announcement of it. Which leads me to speculate if it's health related. He is 100 years old.
I was listening to 105.1 HD3.
maybe they are waiting for the Go Country app to be updated. It only has the main stream on it.
I use self-made batch scripts that invoke tools like curl, wget, xidel, head, sed, grep, and tr to fetch and process track data from the metadata URLs each daemon provides.
Shoutcast servers can be politely queried (e.g. without influencing listener counts) for current track information via their publicly-accessible status pages (e.g. http://47.179.46.169:8000/) or from their Shoutcast Directory API URLs, which are always /7.html (e.g. http://47.179.46.169:8000/7.html).
Icecast servers can be likewise politely queried via their xpsf XML URLs, which are always the stream mountpoint name plus .xpsf (e.g. http://ice8.securenetsystems.net/KYNO.xspf).
I rarely run these scripts except when I'm curious about a new station. And I'm not after information like rotation patterns or other programming director secret sauces. I simply code the scripts to ask every 45 seconds what's currently playing, check if it is or isn't the same song received during the last query, and if not, append it to an ASCII log file. For the pastebin link I posted earlier, I sorted the raw KKGO HD3 log file followed by deleting duplicate lines from the result to arrive at the station's total playlist.
