Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1520 Fox Sports Radio

[Rick Dau <drummer1965usa@xxxxxxxxx>]

As Paul pointed out, it's a recent (in this case, VERY recent, as in within the past few days) format change.  KOLM remains ESPN, but the mystery station you may now be hearing with Fox Sports Radio is KSIB in Creston, Iowa.  This per monitoring by myself throughout the day today.  They carry Jim Rome live from 11-2 CLT, among other programming. 
 
I guess the question I have to ask is...WHY?   Des Moines, some 50 miles away, already has a Fox affiliate on 1460.  And in the meantime, the residents of the community of Creston are now being deprived of a station that will provide local service to that community (I don't know if any format changes have taken place at the sister FM on 101.3, since I can't normally get it here).
