KMNY question

I was wondering if any of you knew how KMNY/1360 actually works? I know that they have an LMA agreement with the biz people, but I'm wondering if programming is ran from separate studios? The reason that I ask is because if you listen, you will hear a fairly loud hum from a hard ground somewhere in either the board or transmitter. Actually I doubt that it's the transmitter because when the weather bulletin interrupts programming, the hum completely clears up. The hum is still present when the station returns to Spanish at 6:00 in the evening. Does a computer switch the station over to biz radio and back to Spanish at night, or does a live person make the switch? Also where does the music come from when biz radio goes down? I heard Ted Sauceman running things several weeks ago, but the same music plays no matter when the outage occurs. I've heard some shows on the weekend that are local and give a 972 number to call. Do these shows come from the current Spanish owner's studios?

During the week it's a feed from Houston.

Mostly it is a live person, sometimes it's a PC.

"Multi Cultural" are the owners and they also have Chinese programs at night.
Some weekend shows originate in Dallas and are fed to Houston simultaneously.
