The Fall DST change is on 5 November this year. Three stations are sending a DS_status of 0 or not in daylight savings time and have been for some time. (RF10, RF20, and RF25)
RF20 (KBOP) did something quite odd on 4 October. They changed DS_status to 1 like it should have been all along but in the process mangled the time data they were sending. It went from about 19 seconds fast to 3621 seconds slow. In addition they changed the GPS offset from 15 to 0. The correct value is currently 18. But almost no one gets that correct.
Nine stations changed their DST data today. Which means that any receiver depending on them will display the wrong time today.
Each plot shows the values for DS_status (1 means in daylight savings time), DS_day_of_month, and DS_hour for the previous day and current (at time plot was made) day.
KTVT (RF 19)
KUVN (RF 23)
KODF (RF 27)
KTXA (RF 29)
KMPX (RF 30)
KDAF (RF 32)
KAZD (RF 39)
KTXD (RF 46)
KSTR (RF 48)
Two other stations changed today but are using an incorrect date of the 29th. They may or may not change that to the correct date later.
KXTX (RF 40)
KDTN (RF 43)
Today is the day that stations should be starting the process but no one did.
A day later than they should have, a few more stations begin the transition.
WFAA (RF 8)
KERA (RF 14)
KPXD (RF 42)
One of the stations (KDTN, RF43) that started sending the wrong date on the 5th changed that to the correct value today.
Three more stations start the transition. Better late than early.
KFWD (RF 9)
KBOP (RF 20)
KJJM (RF 34)
The standard requires that stations change the dst_status bit after all parts of their broadcast area have completed the transition. Since the DFW market is firmly in the middle of the central time zone, it has only one time zone so everyone should have done this at 2AM CDT. Many did not.
One completed the transistion before2AM!
(All times in these plots are DST.)
KODF (RF 27)
A few did it at 2AM as expected: KERA, KBOP, KPXD, WFAA, and KFWD. The rest (at least those that had set a non-zero day and hour) did it withing a few hours.
It still surprises me that so many stations are incapable of following a simple process. Particularly surprising is that one major network affilicate (KXAS) did absolutely nothing. Maybe they will notice the problem before the next transition starts.
