kikkfm.com weird message and referral

When you go to www.kikkfm.com directly, you now get redirected to http://www.itm2057.com/ and a message that says:

Website Coming Soon...
You are seeing this page because the DNS for this site was recently changed inorder to make the site live.

DNS changes generally take 24 to 48 hours to fully propagate through the internet.

Please check back....

This referral and message is the same thing that's happened when you surfed to other CBS radio stations' new websites over the recent years shortly before stations were flipped and new sites went live - I can remember this message appearing on the sites of Jack in Los Angeles, KFRC's relaunch, one or two of the free-fms... all shortly before their launches... probably some others I'm forgetting at the moment.

Why would this be happening now?

I guess that CBS is going to use the kikk-fm calls in another market and this site is about to go live for that reason?

The timing is interesting, though.
 
So, CBS doesn't own the calls, but they still own the domain and are doing something with it at this time, what that is, we don't know.

The KIKK-FM calls do not belong to anyone.

They belong to CBS more than anyone else. Since they own 650AM KIKK in Pasadena, nobody else is going to get KIKK-FM without their approval.

CBS could change any of their FMs to KIKK-FM tomorrow if they wanted. Nobody else could do that.
