** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, KUCO-FM, sent to them Dec 9, times CST = UT -6:

I wonder, what in the world is going on with KUCO programming?

Stardate has been failing to appear at 9:58 am. Today at 10 am Friday,
The Score, instead of 2 pm. Before 3 pm and from 3:07 pm, some unknown
woman announcer with classical, from where? Unseems WCPE.

Kimberly`s recorded top-of-hour KUCO ID. At 3:02, A Day to Remember
instead of 3:06. Then Kent Anderson briefly as if he were live, before
back to the unknown woman. She never gives her name nor hints what
syndicated classical music service this is.

Another try to hear Stardate at previously scheduled repeat 6:58 pm --
instead, `Exploring Music` is ending! Supposed? to start at 7 pm, but
must now be at 6 pm. Then at 7 pm, Symphonycast, also an hour earlier
than had been.

Is the automation all screwed up? Or has the new boss decided to shake
everything up without even telling us on the website schedule and
playlists? As with canceling abruptly Weekend Radio?
