That's a local radio stations website. My girl just phoned me on her way home from work that one of the local radio stations is playing a small sound byte from Alice Coopers 'No More Mr. Nice Guy' on repeat.
Nothing more than the chorus line. Anyways... I'm curious too since it's a pretty big station here. So I goto their website and see this retardly cryptic message (click to link to read it yourself).
This is all we know. Fucked up. Major radio station goes essentially off the air, the website changes to that shit, and it's after hours so nobody there is answering the phone.
97-3 K-ROCK is survived by 50 employees and 30 other radio stations in the Alberta Newcap Family.
K-ROCK’S determination and perseverance in the market place will remain an inspiration for us all.

While possible, I find it doubtfull we the local listeners have had no notice of this. Also, this station just had a MAJOR resurgence a few years back with the introduction of a super hit morning show. They roared back into the top 3 stations of the city, so it's puzzling to think they would throw it all away so suddenly for a new format.
Maybe they were bought out. I had a radio station I liked, and all of a sudden it died while I was listening to it. Nobody even said anything. A few hours later it was a country station.

Did it happen during one of your many beach landings?
I must say it'd be kinda fucked up runnin up the beach listening to cuntry. I can imagine that slicin heads with your bayonet and batting bullets out of mid-air with your manstick wouldn't be as much fun listenin to Billy Ray cronin on about the loss of his mullet.
But I'm sure it might have been cool killin three-toed, pig fuckin nazgooks and getting a nice tan while some sappy redneck sings about gettin shitfaced and drivin his pickup into a tree.
Same shit happened here this year. We used to have this station called 99.1 WHFS. Most of the kids around here liked it because of served them their pre-meditated altevernitave rawk, but the only reason I listened to it was because they played Loveline every night. For those who don't know what Loveline is, it is the single best talk show known to man, as well as the only thing good on the radio. Well, one day at 12 noon the station went from 99.1 WHFS to 99.1 El Sol without any notice. Many alternative rawk fans were left moping that they lost their precious alternative station to some mexican salsa bullshit. The true loss however was Loveline.

That sucks balls. Had the same thing happen here.
Fucking country stations.
Mexican stations are even worse. They keep fucking spreading like a virus. Country stations just sort of come and go.
Pfft, you guys are lucky you have a choice of what to listen to. Here in the middle of nowhere I get 12 stations. 6 are country, 2 are the same (Vermont Public Radio), 1 is a Christian station, 1 is an oldies station, and the last 2 are kind of pop/top 40 hits stations. I need a goddamned CD player in my car.

Yeah, without warning I turned my radio on one morning to find my favorite station was gone and a bible thumping station was there in it's place. I listened to that station every morning for years.
