I noticed last week that the Spanish format is gone from 1570 AM / 92.5 FM. Now it's a Christian Talk station. The station is still owned by New Albany Broadcasting as far as I can tell. Ev When I look online it still has the station as Spanish.Wonder what happened? Anyone know?

Is that format still on 106.9HD2 and 92.3?
Yes it's still on 92.3 and 106.9 HD2. Owned by Pure Radio LLC on Brownsboro Road. I guess they have leased 1570 AM and their translator at 92.5 FM.
So they are now broadcasting on four signals.

IS 92.3 Not a good signal?
Where I live in Okolona 92.3 is a much better signal.
It's a translator. 250 watts at 236 feet, and it's south of the Snyder Freeway. It isn't terrible, but it isn't a full size station. It's roughly equivalent to 105.1 running at 10% of its normal power. That covers stuff. It covers the south end real well. They probably picked up 1570 to cover Indiana better.
92.3 can't exist without WVEZ HD2 to rebroadcast. (Or some other suitable full power station. 1570 doesn't qualify)
1570 isn't great because the upper end of the AM band doesn't cover well at all. It's 1500 watts in the daytime, which is kinda OK, but after sunset it's 233 watts. You can barely pick it up in downtown Louisville at night.
WVEZ HD2 is great, but it's HD. So the potential audience is limited.
I expect the owner of Pure Radio to keep all of them because each one adds something to his coverage that the others can't provide.
strange the email he has with the fcc bounced back..
Last night I checked and Spanish is back on 1570 / 92.5. Wonder what happened? If it was a lease it sure was a short one!
was it the same name? Poder? The guy with the lease probably got behind and they shut him off till it was paid or he realized that just streaming won't cut it.
