What the hell happened to my favorite radio station?

For the love of god, does anyone have any idea what happened to Z104? (104.1) - I listened to them this morning and by this afternoon they were a classical station ... WTF?!!! And here is what the webpage says ....Z104

Thanks for the link ... but it doesn't say, or even speculate why this happened ... are they bankrupt? crazy? bought out?

I'm sure their parent company (who I believe is the ever idiotic Clear Channel) decided to change formats for whatever stupid reason they thought was a good idea.
This is 2 good stations in 1 year (or 2 yrs? I can't remember when HFS went away) - but in a big city with very little good music it sux extra.

I lied - their parent company is the Bonneville International Corporation

A lot of times when a company buys another local station they have to cahnge the format of the current one if they are too similar, provided the new station purchased has the higher customer base/popularity/gross profit margin.

Or perhaps the current owners decided it just wasn't worth it or that they could make more money off of advertising on that kind of format with so many other stations playing the same type of music I'm sure they had to compete for certain advert business.

It happens here all the time.

Peace...
