Daylight Not Saving 1st hour of Coast to Coast AM on 550

On the KFYI website, I see C2C listed from 11pm to 5am. So isn't the first hour played at 2am from March to October?

According to the 790 KNST Tuscon website, that station also runs C2C at 11pm, with Clyde Lewis at 10pm, same as KFYI.

And when I say "evil plot," I mean that iHeart isn't worse than any other owner. If KFYI were owned by Entercom, Beasley or Cox, are we sure they wouldn't just run the show at 11pm all year, since during standard time, 11pm is the starting time for the show in the Mountain Time Zone? Cumulus-owned KIVA Albuquerque runs it at 11pm. KGAB in Cheyenne, owned by Townsquare, runs it at 11pm. And the iHeart stations in Denver and Pueblo also run it at 11pm. I realize they all observe daylight saving time. But I doubt if they didn't, they'd run the show at 10pm some months and at 11pm some months. Or run the last hour of last night's show at 10pm some months.

I agree with you that KFYI should time shift it between March and October, as it does Rush and Hannity. But 11pm is really the time it should go on the air in the Mountain Time Zone. iHeart may not be a great company but I don't think iHeart runs its stations any differently than all the other owners.

You are talking about the same 550 that is Kim Komando's flagship that only airs 2 hours of her 3 hour show for years.

Mrs Nearly Bald One is on KTAR 92~Three, where her three hour show is on a whopping hour. BUT, she has a minute every weekday morning. No time zone adjustment. (sfx-fake studio audience "clap, clap, clap")

The nickel-and-diming in this market is ridiculous. I never thought I'd see the day when 960, 1100, etc., are at least honest with how they roll. AM really is dead in this town.

We get all 3 hours here on Sunday morning 6-9am and a replay from 12-3am Monday. I never figured out why her 3rd hour never played in the 14 years that I listened to her in Phoenix. She did promise a lot that the 3rd hour was coming soon. :)
