Tejano coming back?

If you put a regular radio next to an HD receiver and tune each to the same station, the HD signal is always waaay behind the regular signal.

There should be no difference at all in the timing between the main analog signal and its primary HD digital signal. The system has delay networks to synchronize the two so that drop-outs are not perceptible, delay-wise. If a station is not synchronized, its engineering department needs to be notified.

This has been my experience everywhere including my current trip to the Midwest. Everybody must be doing things the same wrong way, or there must be another explanation such as a delay in the HD receiver decoding the transmission.
 
If you are listening to a HD fed translator, that is a possibility. Most "HD fed" translators are not rebroadcasting an off-air HD signal - they are normally fed via another source (STL, IP codec, etc.) which will not have the delay. If you are listening to a full power HD station, there should be no delay between the analog and HD1 audio if set up correctly.

Correct...the audio processors has built in delay adjustments to make the analog sync with the HD...at KRBE, it was not exact...but close...with HD and analog on rcvrs at the same time, there was a slight ringing in the delay..maybe 30-50 ms...could only notice if two radios were used...in one HD radio alone, most would not notice the difference
 
I saw in now-deleted Facebook video this week that they are not surprisingly already having financial troubles. They are down about 1,600 in payments to the owner of the station and apparently they are doing a raffle to help the station.

Dying format, on an abscure rimshot AM signal, being ran through donations.

Color me shocked.

The video said that none of the local businesses want to advertise on Puro Tejano, he said no local clubs, no local restaurants want to either. So it’s up to the Tejano fans, and they’re are doing a raffle for a Harley Davidsons motorcycle.
 
Is it gone? I see there Facebook page updated their profile picture. Now it only has the Puro Tejano FM logo with no station information.
 

Not to be sarcastic (well, maybe a little bit)...

It's you and 11 others who care.

There is just not enough interest in Tejano in Houston any more to sustain a radio station in that format. Likely not even a translator is sustainable, as Tejano listeners, the few that there are, are spread out all over the metro and a translator could not serve most of them.

There you go LDM 11 others and I care!!

And really I was trying to start a conversation to start speculation of what format will be on 1540 am if Puro Tejano shuts down.
 
To the 11 others that care lol, they will be moving to a new frequency. Any idea where? Could KLVL be flipping again?

If they can not afford the frequency they are on, a change to another bad signal won't help. This is a Dead Format Walking.

They will likely try to rent it to someone else. But, as Mr Turner has said many times on this forum, finding renters for even a much better technical facility than Galveston's 1540 is very hard. We will eventually start seeing some of the area AMs just going away for good.

I remember hearing 1540 in Cleveland, Ohio in 1959 when they were on day facilities for Hurricane Debra coverage. Too bad the station can get to Ohio, but does not cover much of Houston!
 
A good friend just informed me that there’s a new format on 1540 and 101.7 FM.

Tejano Y Más! Being ran by someone else.

Puro Tejano Fm will be leasing another station soon.

That is marketing ignorance at its best. A non-viable format soon to be on two separate operations. Half of "no billing" is still "no billing".
