[IRCA] Denver format / call swaps

[AM-DXer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Griffith, N0NNK / WPE9HVW)]

I was the lucky operator on duty tonight at midnight MST when KYOL/1510
made the switch from the ABC True Oldies Channel to ABC Real Country.
The new slogan is "15 Kicks". The format is classic country. Watch for a
forthcoming call change to KCKK. KYOL is currently operating under an
STA for ND operation with 4750 watts at night.

1600 in Denver has changed calls to KEPN. Heard at 0100 MST this morning
with dual KCKK/KEPN ID and prominent mention of corporate ownership by
Lincoln Financial. This is in preparation for a forthcoming change from
C&W to ESPN. Lincoln also owns KKFN/950 and this change will give them a
stronghold on sports in the Denver market. The FCC database already
shows the KEPN call on 1600 and shows KCKK as unassigned.

KLZ/560 lost the ESPN contract. It is unknown what format they will be
switching to.
