WYDE 1260/92.5 changed to all talk programming...or....

[passtheword]

I've been scrolling the AM dial lately and I have been hearing talk programming on AM 1260 (and presumably on 92.5 and 95.3 FM); I can't remember the last time I heard any christian music on there. Has Crawford Broadcasting dropped the southern gospel music for an all talk format?

But wait...there's more! lol. So I thought I'd swing by the WYDE website at wyderadio.com to see if I could find a program schedule. There was a link for "Song History" so I figured this was being used in lieu of some sort of program guide. What I did find was rather odd...it was indeed a song list, not a list of scheduled programs. The page is entitled: "Song History, Last Songs played on 92.5 FM, 95.3 FM and 1260 AM". The first song that is listed (at the bottom of the list) has a song called "This Old Place" by Signature Sound Quarter, which of course, appears to be some sort of southern gospel music track. The following tracks, though, left me scratching my head which were as follows:

"Reeling In the Years" Steely Dan
"We Don't Need Another Hero" Tina Turner
"I Won't Back Down" Tom Petty
"In the Year 2525" by Zager & Evans

92.5 FM, 95.3 FM and 1260 AM - Song History

92.5 FM, 95.3 FM and 1260 AM - List of the 5 most recently played songs.

So...is the entire list some kind of error, some type of music format change for 1260/92.5/95.3, or some type of format change for the station which hasn't taken place yet? The music list can't be just some leftover data from the station's days doing a classic hits format, as that was waaaay back in 2008, and the wyderadio.com website didn't even exist at that time.

Hard to believe Crawford would flip any of its stations to classic hits. The playlist must be some sort of glitch, especially since the Tom Petty track wouldn't have been in too many classic hits stations' rotations in 2008, certainly not ones that were still playing "In the Year 2525."
