TUDN 1010 ENDING

Heard the simulcast of 1010 will soon be over... What spanish (language) format is missing that might have a chance in Houston??
None. But the new owners, with zero radio experience, apparently don't know that.

Maybe they'll pick up the classic country baton recently dropped by 97.1.

Just a rib, folks. It's not missing, but I'd fully expect KLAT will soon be offering oración por dinero.

Funny! Of course, their goal is to influence Hispanic voters with a Spanish language service.
 
let's give them a chance David I would think it's harder to raise the amount of money they raised than to program a station!
The money was easy. When the Soros interests learned that Univision was about to sell those stations to Salem, they found some like-minded Hispanic activists and helped them create a company to make a higher offer and buy the stations.

KLAT will most likely not be offering that. Instead, seeing some of the big names in control of LMN, we will most likely be seeing a Spanish left-leaning Talk station that has a 95% chance of having the same fate as Univision America.

All attempts to do a national Hispanic Spanish language talk format have failed. The reasons are multiple, but we can start with the fact that U.S. politics are of little interest to Spanish dominants who tend not to be citizens. Beyond that, there are vast social and language differences between Hispanics of different national origins.
 
they took over San antonio and kept it Tejano.
For now. If that remains for very long, everything that David has said about the group being utterly clueless suddenly becomes glaringly apparent.

Please, let us know if KLAT starts playing Selena, Mazz, Emilio, and Los Palominos. I, personally, could use a hearty laugh.
 
I haven't read anything that leads me to believe they will do a national Spanish language talk format,
I have. Not on all stations, but on most of the AMs.
 
Maybe they could make a go at MA3 digital on AM. Houston has north of 30% HD radio penetration in cars.
And vastly less in cars owned by Hispanics.

I haven't seen the words "Spanish language" in any press releases.
All the "inside the industry" statements have indicated that all stations will be in Spanish. The hiring requires Spanish for programming positions.

When the purchase was announced, it was clear that the intent was to keep Salem from starting a multi-market conservative Spanish talk network.
