Makes sense. While call letters are largely irrelevant, KMZT has meant "K-Mozart" to Saul for decades. And who knows, he may have another use for it.

That'll be the second time those calls have been on 1260 (the first time was July 2005 through February 2007, which matches kevtronics' timeline of the last time the station was Country).
Country Aircheck reports the switch to TS will be tomorrow, and the switch to classic country will be October 1.
Cool I can listen on tune in to the am side
Um - why both HD2 & HD3?
🤪

There might be two different K-Mozart feeds: K-Mozart 1 & 2. They've each been on those HDs all year.
For a while the website said Kmozart 2 on the logo but that went away. I don’t get it why they’d have two feeds. I’m also not in market so can’t listen to the HD. Just seems odd.
It was mentioned a few weeks ago that one had announcers and the other did not.
Ahh okay- interesting choice for sure. The app has no announcers and the legal ID is HD2, and has been for several weeks.
I’m getting to think that 1260 has most of its listeners on this LA board, than the rest of the market. I do have it on a preset in my car, which I will remove soon. Truthfully the only thing I can listen to on the AM dail now will be KNX. Everything else will make we want to destroy the radio.
I love how the first guy to like Michael's post above is called "High Standards."
Also, I thought most classical music people were audiophiles, or semi-audiophiles. Does it make sense to divide IBOC's measly bandwidth three ways to offer something intended for very choosy listeners twice, with the only difference being announcers? I'm thinking that puts each classical subchannel at around 32 kbit/s ... at that rate, I would almost prefer the AM.

I hope Saul led off the Taylor format with “Look What You Made Me Do”!
I really had no idea. So much discussion I've seen around the internet through the years has painted him as almost cartoonish for his legendary format-flipping "indecisiveness." Now I regret being critical of him. If he truly wants to light his cigars with $100 bills, more power to him.
I'm all for free enterprise the way I'm all for freeways. Where having no speed limit is as bad as having speed limits so slow they make everyone want to speed.
There are happy mediums. The railroads used to do this kind of thing. What happened to them was deserved.
Hmmm, they were over-regulated out of business. Is that what you want? The equivalent would be the FCC forcing radio to do certain formats.
That's what we're about to see with tech companies. Government wants to break up Google. We'll see where that goes.
