Driving through Utah and Idaho on July 18/19 we could not resist listening to Thriller numerous times while on I-84. Figured it was a format change as I have heard this practice done before many years ago in Indiana. Now I see another format change to one more talk radio station which uses syndicated radio hosts. Local AM radio is dead.
