Did KBND Kill Their Afternoon News?

Did I miss something here? Every day on my commute home, I had been listening to the local news on KBND before switching over to NPR. The last few days, however, when I turn on the radio, I hear that crack-pot Sean Hannity (which I’ve already made clear they’ve basically lost me as a listener because of it). But despite what it says on their on-air schedule, it appears they’ve decided to bulldoze their 5-6PM news hour (or at least part of it — I’d usually listen between 5:30 and 6:00, as that’s when I was generally in the car).

Anybody have any idea what’s going on? It does mean that they’re now broadcasting 10 hours of conservative talk radio between 6AM and midnight, assuming that Hannity has taken over that hour that used to be the afternoon news.

I do have an e-mail into them to see what’s going on, and will update here accordingly, but I’ll be flipping off KBND for good now (other than during Oregon Duck games) if this is the case.
