I know from personal experience that stations cannot edit commercials
unless authorized to do so by the client. Now, given the long advance
notice of the 408 overlay, someone at KGO should have contacted Armstrong
weeks ago to prepare for this. Perhaps they did and the company hasn't
responded yet; we don't know. Or maybe everyone at KGO has spaced out
about the change. The bottom line is that unless you have some inside
info you didn't mention above, none of us outside of KGO and Armstrong
have the necessary background information yet to determine that this 
was indeed KGO's failure.
