Probably because the station was bombing in the last few books. The music wasn't bad, but last I knew it had NO on air people, nothing in the mornings, anything at all. You can't have a station with no info on at all in the Kearney/Grand Island/Hastings area. Now, that may have changed as it has been a while since I was back in that area.
But I don't understand that company. They've got about 10 people working at all their stations, which in turn means all the stations are tracked by the same jocks, and they are running the same music logs on stations within the group that are the same format. I know for a fact their McCook and North Platte stations are doing it that way. It's one hell of a waste of good radio signals with what they are doing with them. My thoughts are if they are going to put radio station after radio station on the air, have the staff to run them.
