That's a station as strong as WCCO, KTLK or KSTP here, it's so close - even if they're on 3,500W, instead of 5,000W when they were KRJJ. KMNV has 95.7 now, so I guess they really don't need KMNQ anymore.

I gotta tune in and hear what "Spanish AC" sounds like compared to "English AC", as it's arranged as a format.

Unfortunately, Spanish AC is a very broad definition, going from soft Regional Mexican variants to pure international pop.

Well, variety is a good thing, right?

I suppose it's like English AC, with subgenres of stations: AC, Hot AC, Modern AC, Rhythmic AC, Urban AC, & Soft AC, just in Spanish.

I might like it, it's certainly a strong signal here.
