OK I tuned in tonight and it's spanish? What happened?
 
The Walrus is the same right now except for Rich Brother Robbin is gone. Monday it will be an upbeat 80's hit station Max 105.7 Fm.
 
The new Max FM 105.7

I will not listen to it ever except for the first day. I am not going to listen to the same Billy Ocean and Madonna songs over and over. And don't forget all night long Lionel Richie all day long everyday!!!!! :(
 
KOLA in Riverside-San Bernardino plays 1970s-80s-90s classic hits. (You can listen to KOLA online at http://www.kolafm.com/ ) Max FM plays late '70s through early '90s, so Max has around 18 years of music as opposed to KOLA's 30. I don't expect Max FM to be too repetitious. Here in Los Angeles, KRTH's basic playlist is only 300 songs and many of them are played three times a day, every day. Yikes! XHPRS morning co-host John Nolan quit in July, leaving Kim Morrison to work solo. Then Rich "Brother" Robbin left in August. Jack Diamond is the new morning show co-host. Prior to a 24-year run at WRQX in Washington DC, Diamond had done mornings at country KSON. Christina Martinez, formerly at KRTO in Guadalupe, now does afternoons. (And no, I didn't crib that info from Wikipedia. I'm the one who just updated Wikipedia.)

Aside from the format shift and re-branding of 105.7 posted above:

Judging from the date/time stamp on your post, you were listening after 10 PM PT on Sunday evening when I believe (needs confirmation) most of the Mexican transmitter-based stations run the "La Hora Nacional" Mexican National Hour program on Sunday evenings from 10 PM until 11 PM or Midnight.
This would affect English-language stations such as XHITZ-90.3, XETRA-91.1, XHRM-92.5, XHLNC-104.9, XHPRS-105.7, XEPRS-1090 and XEPE-1700.

I've heard Mexican programming during the week on 1090 and 1700 after 11 PM PT.

In addition, the "Himno Nacional Mexicano" (the Mexican National Anthem) airs at Midnight and 5 AM.
