Default AFN conundrum

I always thought that AFN had only one programming stream.
But listening to the following I found two different streams on AFN on March
27th
5765 AFN Guam (8,700 miles from this QTH) @ 1630 zulu was programming
country & western music
10320 AFN Pearl Harbour (11,500 miles from this QTH) @ 1630 zulu was
programming some sort of political talk
At 1700 zulu they both ran the same NX

Any comment?

As far as I recall they've had different program streams at different times of
the day for some time.

This is nothing new. I have heard two streams before. There could be
more than two streams at times.

My educated guess is since there are no snakes on the islands of Hawaii,
Bush feels the laws of the garden of Eden do not apply there. Therefore no
rapture can take place there. So, by keeping the discussion politics,
hopefully they'll find Nascar since all roads lead to Bush.....

Humph! that's news? I have always known AFN has multiple streams.I used
to listen to it in Vietnam in 1964.They had a broadcasting station in
one of the hotels in Saigon and their broadcasting tower was on the roof
of that hotel too.I have seen it many,many times when I was in Saigon.I
used to have a shirtpocket transistor with me most of the time over
there and I would listen to them and sometimes I would listen to some
Vietnamese radio stations on my transistor too.Well,let me cut the light
now,past time I get my beauty sleep.
