KKSW audio issues every Saturday night

I'm hearing 105.9 Kiss FM, KKSW out of Lawrence, with the center channel missing. This means the music has most of the vocals gone except the backup singing. No beat either half the time, the current song is just instrumental ambients. It's as if the audio equipment for this particular show isn't set up correctly.
Also, the liners don't play because they're all centered. I can hear the ghost of the liner messages but not what's said.

All this happens during a specific show, every Saturday night after 10 PM or so (I don't know the station's schedule). But I can't believe it's a 100,000 watt station and for several months at least this has been going on Saturday nights. -- Actually, I can believe it, as these days everything's remotely run with minimal attention paid to the engineering.
Here's a short clip demo of their Internet stream. https://sndup.net/3smv/a
 
Amazing how, back in the day if you made even a sometimes minor mistake, you were praying the PD, MD, GM or some combination thereof weren't listening, and you'd watch the red indicator light on the admin line like a hawk, in silent prayer it wouldn't start lighting up. Now it seems no one bothers listening to their own stations, signals and content.

how do you know this is happening over the air too as well as the webstream? Just because its happening on the stream doesnt mean its happening over the air
