It May Mean Nothing, But... (KTYK Tyler)

KTYK, as of an 8:00 whirl of the dial, is airing Frank Sinatra and various Standards and Christmas music. That's certainly plausible programming for Christmas week in the area's biggest city, but the KDAQ identification on the HD is an as-of-today, recent development.

KDAQ is, of course, the primary Red River Radio station for Louisiana State University at Shreveport. The HD has had the "KTYK-HD" identifier since becoming digital, directly after the University purchased it.


Hey, it may be nothing, but KVUT already met its demise last year, leaving this station and the KERA translator as the only sources for public radio in Tyler.

KDAQ, the parent station, is also playing all-Christmas music this evening. I need to check the station's schedule but it sounds like the Christmas edition of American Routes.
 
@ted chittenden you may already know this, but KTYK is, like the stations in Alexandria, Lufkin, and El Dorado, a direct feed from the mother ship KDAQ. Whatever 89.9 airs, so do the others. Generally, anyway. I've heard separate programming on 100.7 exactly once since LSU took control of the signal

The peculiar part of this is the new HD readout for 100.7. Was somebody tinkering, and simply changed the wrong setting?

Or...is there something more to it?
 
Someone recently caught KLSA HD as having the KDAQ call sign. But KDAQ currently has no HD and is very quiet. The station told me they had damage to their satellite equipment during a thunderstorm.
 
I had been seeing “RRR” on the HD subchannels of KTYK when I was over there listening to it. I joked that it sounded like a “pirate radio station” because of the RDS display. I listen to the HD4, Alt Red River station. They displayed “KDAQ” when I was over there last week.

It started that way. I think it was updated about the same time that the HD4 was launched.

Still displaying it. From what htx said, it's the same across all Red River stations.
