I have been listening to KMPH 840 on the net for a year now, great oldies, Wolfman Jack and great overall presensation. I have heard a few weeks ago they were sold and no longer on the air. Their stream has still been working as KMPH 840, but today they changed to KYA 1260 with jingles, great oldies music, vintage commercials, they sound live and local. Now I ask are they really broadcasting on 1260 AM with the KYA calls....

KMPH is in the process of being sold to Immaculate Heart Radio, and IHR has a LMA with Pappas as of July 28, so I’m guessing the stream has been independently programmed since then.
A stand-alone stream can identify itself any way it wants, including as a long gone AM with a three-letter callsign.

The KMPH automation in the Norwegian trailer studio has been running the "Graffiti Gold" format online only since IHR took over early in August. I had switched the KMPH feed over to Classic 1260 KYA for a brief time while doing some maintenance on the KMPH system.
The KMPH imaging is being stripped out of the Graffiti Gold programming, and will be replaced with classic XERB 1090 imaging from the 1960s and early 1970s (again, online only). We still have the rights to air Wolfman Jack through 2015.

Sounds good; just keep it going, I have been listening for a year now here in Philadelphia. Just keep the 50's and 60's music, don't go much higher like into the 70s, and keep adding new titles, its good your core music is 1955 to 1965 the best years IMHO...
, and the stereo cuts sound great.
, and the stereo cuts sound great.Hangman, stay with it -- we had to re-build the music library, imaging and rotations from scratch. Classic 1090 XERB Graffiti Gold will continue with the core mid-1950s through early 1960s music format in just a few days.
