Good signal, but distorted audio, tough to make out what the OM is saying.  "My True Underpants"?
1305 Off.

I have it here with S6 but very noisy.  Playing music at the moment.  

*******

Talking at 1254.  Music again at 1257

Decent signal but tough copy.  

Tried USB, het tunes in at 6925.20 but audio is not any better once I pinpointed the center of the signal.

*******

Very clear and loudly stated "My New Underpants" at 1303 followed by another song.  

Thought I heard a weaker ID at 1305 then the sig was gone.

Carrier here at 6925.2 also, fading in and out of the noise floor, but only occasional bits of audio. Fairly large solar event last night has adversely affected the prop here this morning! Off while I was posting this at 1305 UTC!

As I'm typing this at 1307, I think their S7 carrier is still on.  Tuned in around 1255 UTC, heard several familiar songs, but these sounded like they were sung by kids or amateur "singers".  Many "My New Underpants" IDs throughout.  Audio may have been slightly overdriven, but it was very easy to copy everything.

Followup: Forgot to mention that I had their signal on 6925.1 kHz.  I thought their carrier was still on after 1305, but after typing this log, I tried tuning in CW mode, and it was obvious their carrier was off.  What fooled me is that band noise is very low this morning, so there was no distinct rise in noise levels after the carrier went off.
