KWNX Sports Must Have Flipped To KLGO Gospel Music

F

I just tuned to 1260 KHz today (06/06/2014) and instead of hearing the Alex Loeb sports show on KWNX, I found the station playing gospel music with this:

Station ID: KLGO
“...Austin's own gospel station...” (voiced by Bob Cole)
and
“...the new Austin gospel station...” (voiced by Bob Cole)
I think “The Word” was said somewhere in there also.

I tuned in a little after 10:00 AM (about 10:06 AM, or so). I don't know when it flipped from KWNX, a simulcast of 104.9 MHz, “The Horn”, to KLGO playing gospel music.

On 104.9 MHz, Alex Loeb just now joked that he could do religious talk if they need him to do that because he has two kids to feed but I missed anything that he said before that. (He has one child and one on the way.)
 
Gospel Music Has Debut On 1260 AM To Release Any Confusion
 
The call signs for both AM facilities were changed on May 19th. The former KLGO is now KTAE which was held by the 1260 signal since sign-on in the 1940s.
 
James, the program director, the board operator, or both, for the Alex Loeb show on 104.9 MHz, "The Horn", said that the format change was made after the baseball game last night (06/05/2014). There was no mention on the air of any format change (at least not that I heard) before the actual change last night. Thank you for your information about the call sign date changes.
 
Cole should go all the way Classic Hits on 104.9 and improve it's signal. I barely hear the Classic Hits on 104.9 and drop the 1980's rock Point like music. Stick with the 60's and 70's and throw in an 80's tune no more than twice an hour.

Actually, I THINK the Lundgrens have the KTAE call on 1330.

They are pushing the app to listen over the phone...........The FM signal stinks, can't pick it up in Georgetown. So the AM station flipped.
 
When did 1490 begin simulcasting KOKE? I guess I missed that change somewhere?
 
1490 flipped to a KOKE simulcast around the same time 105.3 The Fringe launched. They're using it to cover the central part of Austin that they lost when 105.3 switched.
 
They should just drop 98.5 make it silent and keep KTAE that has a better coverage then 98.5 anyway. Then KBBT could come in a lot better.
