KLVL 1480 is running looped messages from Radio Dabang telling listeners to tune to 1590. And checking KMIC the regular Radio Dabang programming has indeed moved there. The announcement loop mentions that listeners had complained about the 1480 signal, especially the inadequate nighttime coverage.
Not a surprise, as the 1480 night signal starts to die west of downtown Houston, and is buried in the co-channel pileup when you get to the West Loop. As most of the South Asian community is in the southwest part of the market, Radio Dabang couldn't reach them after sunset.
So a format change for KMIC 1590, and it would appear that KLVL 1480 is looking for a new tenant.
