Did KRLD drop their 15/45 Sportscast?

Sorry if this has been posted already, but I haven't seen anything. I haven't been hearing sports at 15 and 45. Did they drop it?

If so, I can't say that I miss it. More and more often it was 60-90 seconds of...
"The Mavs won last night and play again tonight. Dirk says it's tough playing back to back."
{Dirk soundbyte)
The Rangers are in spring training and Wash says they are ready."
{Wash sound}
"With sports at 15 and 45...."

It's never anything that you don't already know and it sounds like it could easily be read by the news folks. That being said, the Rajmahal and Chris Schneider have been at it a long time and I hope they're doing ok.
 
All the CBS News stations run Sports at :15 and :45, except maybe for the new CBS News station in Washington, which runs Sports at :25 and :55, I believe. It's still twice per hour but I'm not sure why the time shift.

Yes, it's a brief sportscast. Headlines, scores, a soundbite or two. But apparently that's what listeners to All-News stations want. If they want more, there's longer sports updates on the All-Sports stations. And in Dallas, one of those stations happens to be KRLD-FM. But that's still no reason why KRLD-AM shouldn't do two sportscasts per hour when they are in their All-News format.

They killed "Sports at :15 and :45."

From KRLD's Facebook Page (when someone asked the same question) - "KRLD is still covering sports but we are running the stories as they happen rather than at specific times. Thanks for listening."
 
KRLD still runs sports reports in the AM from Chris. Schneider. But they're taped and generic and not on the quarters any longer.

Rog works PM these days.

FYI...KNX/Los Angeles airs sports at :20 and :50.
