KLIF 570 drops Coast to Coast

[Zoidberg]

Looks like KLIF 570 AM in the Fort Worth/Dallas area has dropped Coast to Coast after a long run on the overnight slot.  Apparently that slot now belongs to John Batchelor, another blah-blah-blah political issues pundit show.  I've listened for a few minutes a night this week and Batchelor seems to be less of a one trick pony than most such shows.  So far he's talked fairly intelligently about China and international issues, without the usual screamy-mimi "YIKES SOCIALIST LIBERALS IN MAI SOUP!" babble.

Otherwise, that eliminates my last reason to bother listening to 570, other than for the challenge to getting clear copy of Cuba's Radio Reloj... tick-tick-tick.  

Fortunately I can still get my late night radio junk food fix from 850 KOA in Colorado, 1040 WHO in Des Moines and 1200 WOAI in San Antonio, all of which still carry Coast to Coast in the familiar wee hour slot.  All three come in pretty well, with 850 and 1200 coming better than WHO (which, incidentally, was still sending QSL cards with the owl logo as of 2008 when I sent a signal report).
