This time last year, I honestly thought that CBS would give away this station to Houston Public Radio so classical can stay on the FM during the day while NPR news & talk programming can be heard for the first time in Houston (albeit on fidelity-challenged AM) between local sunset and sunrise or vice-versa (HD2 classical music simulcast on AM). Ironically, I thought the KIKK calls would be changed to KUHA. The demise of KTRU seemed to come out of nowhere.
KIKK has a good signal throughout the Houston metro while it is operating, so that possibility could still be open so KUHA can be heard in the southern, coastal areas of the metro. Another use for it is "UH Student Radio" considering the hours of operation. It might be treated like a carrier current/part 15 AM station broadcasting campus news, talk programs about college life, and information on campus events. Considering the signal's geographic reach, it also could be opened to other Houston university students to create "Houston College Radio".

smooth jazz (KHMX-HD2). This daytimer has been on for at least an hour. Was the transmitter accidentally turned on? It's now covering up WSM like a local the same way capture works on FM. At 21:00, WSM was barely coming in due to interference with co- or adjacent channel stations (or IBOC).

WSM will care, as any KIKK night operation would cause significant interference to what is left of WSM's protected night coverage area. A nondirectional 250 watt station operating at night will get out quite well.
It wouldn't be an problem in Nashville metro, but further out there would be issues. Of course the AM band is already a total mess at night, so most listeners wouldn't notice or care.
I'm surprised CBS even bothers with 650 any more...figured they would have unloaded it by now. Of course it would have wound up as religion or brokered ethnic.
