Stations wanted

Any specifics? Location? Are you interested in a CP?
 
Anywhere with decent population that I don’t already have stations… you can see my markets at www.wilkinsradio.com. Markets of high interest are Houston, Charleston, SC, Baltimore, Tampa/St. Pete, but again, anywhere with decent pop. Not sure on CP’s it would depend on the situation. Looking for AM’s with translator or FM’s.
 
Question for Wilkins.. i see you have a good number of stations. why kind of programming do you have all day? i also saw your social media and for having that many stations you dont have much following.. do you guys not promote social media very much? just wondering .. not being a jerk just a honest question.
 
Ever since the pandemic, we lowered overhead and that was one of the areas we decided wasn’t as important. We have been more focused on selling our airtime instead of focusing on social media. That said, we have been talking about outsourcing it moving.
 
Fair enough. Ever considered trying Spanish religious? I'll try streaming you guys this weekend to see what the format is all about. I mean you're in some good markets. But now days social media is everything when it comes to pulling a response.
 
It’s all brokered religious programming. We did do Spanish Christian music with brokered religious in Albuquerque on one of our stations, but we didn’t do too well with it so we decided to stick to what we know.
 
ABQ is a bit different I've worked the marked and have found it to be more of a 2nd and 3rd generation Latino . But if you ever want to try it again I know some people that would be interested . Pensacola would be a great market to do spanish or Philly even if just weekends.

More like 10th or 12th generation, as the core Hispanic population was there about 400 years ago.

I had a friend from there whose family got a Spanish land grant. Nobody in her family had spoken Spanish since the mid-1800's, though.

Philadelphia has a full power FM in Spanish from iHeart. Pensacola is less than 6% Hispanic or less than 35,000 persons. Mostly assimilated.

Well, they were chased out in 1680, but came back a decade or so later, this time learning to treat the Puebloan populations somewhat better than before. A Tewa artist, Jason Garcia (a/k/a Okuu Pin), has portrayed that history in a series of comic books, Tewa Tales of Suspense, that are pretty amazing and bring home the Native perspective that isn't adequately represented in standard histories.

Albuquerque itself as a European settlement dates to 1706. The really deep Spanish culture is in the rural areas north of Santa Fe.

Not all were chased out. The Olguín family that had a land grant to the Southwest of Albuquerque remained, entrenched in their roughly 400,000 acre land grant.

Since much of the colonial population was there due to land grants, the "company town" on the grant land was in each case the center of population.

Access to water was a big determinant (and still is).

That's why, all over the driest parts of the Southwest and NW Mexico towns were located by streams, wells, or any source of water.

Towns like Artesia, Red River, Lake Arthur, Lake Sumner, Ojo Caliente, Embudo (Embudo Creek), Rio Lucio, Whitewater, Mangas Springs and my favorite, Mule Creek, indicated places where there was some water, at least.

Arizona continues with names like Artesia and Kino Springs and Sweetwater. All, again, references to sources of water. And on the "other side" we have Agua Prieta, Agua Zarca, Laguna Colorada, Aguaje and more.
