Announced today that Tony EX PD of MEGA 101 is now PD at Christian Vida Unida 91.7 Here in town. I did not see that coming. Wonder how long it will take Audacy to hire a new PD for MEGA 101 i would guess that JD out of Dallas is currently taking care of programming.

Tony Luna bounces back
- Thread starter radioislife2020
- Start date
As Vida Unida is being built into a national format, it must be quite a challenge to broadly appeal to Spanish speakers with widely different cultural origins. Has Spanish language CCM found some common ground to work with? Some of the musical styles I hear on VU are quite different than what is played elsewhere on Houston’s Hispanic targeted stations.

Well that eliminates Tony from the names for SBS. Either way the format coming is Regional Mexican and at a good time KLTN is stuck in 3rd place and not Connecting with its key demo. SBS will have a superior signal compared to what Estrella Media Currently has.

Not totally. The Estrella stations have decent signals in the Houston HDHA areas, which is where most of the Spanish language listening is found.
