Thanks, I keep track, or try to of call letter changes. Roy Henderson is my first guess at who will go for the KLDE calls. He has KHTZ ON 92.5 Navasota. He has a knack for picking up good call letters.

Too bad they couldn't have just swapped call letters with him.. KHTZ is much closer to KHITS.. IMO
 
From their coverage after going HD, I would have thought the new calls would be KLDE-LP

KHTC is effective as of 12:01 a.m. Today.

The 3 o clock ID was "KLDE Lake Jackson, Houston". At 4pm I heard "KHTC Lake Jackson, Houston". I guess they were official as of then.

Thanks for the great laugh!


Rage, I listened at 1 and 4pm to the TOH ID and both were KHTC Lake Jackson/Houston. I wonder if a KLDE ID accidentally got on the air at 3?
 
I heard it again at 9pm. I was trying to get an hour long check of K-Hits with the new calls. It was KHTC at 8pm but they ID as KLDE at 9.
 
CC...Fox Sports is weak.....see the old KFXR/Dallas.......go for the KLDE calls and become Real Oldies 790 the new KLDE.....believe it or not, there is a market for real oldies here, and remember standards had a better number most days than the Sports Animal, and the music skewed older...Real Oldies could only do better....
 
I caught it as well, rageradio. After reading your post I checked K-hits every hour and the result were exactly what you said. At 6 it ID'ed as KHTC, 7 as KLDE, 8 KHTC, 9 KLDE, and 10 KHTC. They seemed to be swapping every hour between the two ID's. I didn't think that was legal.

It not legal, but part of the sloppy way that stations are operated now. Probably wasn't programmed correctly in the computer.
