Corpus Christi's KYRK 106-5 "The Shark" Flips to a Christian Format

This is a sad day for me, gentleman.
After a great run that started Oct 9, 2014, "The Shark" is no more. It seems longer than 2014, because throughout the majority of 2013, 106.5FM would play "Sunday at the Nineties," offering a lot of classic 90's Alternative songs the entire day on Sunday. On May 3, 2015, "The Shark" switched frequencies, from 106-5 to 94-7, but that was short-lived, as "The Shark" came back to 106-5 on July 22.
The alt-rock station that I hold close to my heart has flipped to a Christian musical format of some sort. I listened for about 30 minutes, and the station did not ID itself at the bottom of the hour (illegal), nor did it offer a moniker, it only claimed "106-5." The FM text that I saw on my car radio screen was "Nexus" followed by "Broadcast" and "Roadcast" (Roadcast was probably meant to be typed Broadcast but someone did not type the letter B). I also saw "Audio Stereo Processor mod.NSP01 in the text as well.
KYRK's reception is better than radio-locator gives it credit for, as you can hear KYRK terrestrially as far west as Los Angeles, TX (near Cotulla) and as far east as Victoria. To the south, I've heard KYRK's signal reach somewhere in between Falfurrias and Linn.
I will play 106 non-stop minutes of alternative to honor a station I will never forget, 106-5...The Shark.
Go ahead and file The Shark with The Edge (Dallas), The Tiger (Baton Rouge), 103-9 The X (Aggieland), 104-9 (Baton Rouge) The End (New Orleans), and all the other alternative stations that have fallen in recent years.

It's 2017. How do people even know what's playing on their FM stations these days?

Rock 93.7 and Planet Radio 96.5/ 103.7 in Lafayette have both kicked the bucket in the last 2-3 years
Really sucked. Just listen to XM now

I had a Uber driver pick me up in his jeep...that had a radio station advertised on it. Started chatting with the guy...come to find out he owned the station and it was an alternative rock one. Before I could get excited at finding out that there was alternative station I wasn't aware of in PHX...he tells me he is switching formats....to country. Before I could even reply he said "I know...country sucks, but it makes more money sadly"
Obviously owning a radio station isn't profitable if you are having to be an Uber driver for some spending cash.
ETA: You need satellite radio; then you can get your 90s alternative fix 24/7 with Lithium(go ahead and preset this as your #1 satellite station cause its awesome). I actually also listen to Christian music as well though(the Christian station Air1 is much better than KLove imo).
ETA: Sirius/XM also have Alt Nation which plays decent current alternative music as well

In the running for most random thread of the day.
Even more random a thing to get worked up about.

It's still alive. That's a good station right there. Been around for awhile.

Wow, people still listen to FM radio...interesting.

I don't really like paying for XM, but once Jesus took over 93.7 in Lafayette he left me no other choice.
