He said the competitors are sabotaging his show and dont want them to broadcast a better show than whats on air. This is the crap he puts out on social media and listeners beleive it. š why cant he just say some copper thieves stole the metal power lines and 92.1 doesnt have a generator.
Iāll bite, who is trying to ācancelā this show?
They could have hit any tower but decided this one was the better one . Come on!
It's in a rather remote location compared to most in-market stations.
Im just going to take a wild and pretty pathetic guess, the studio is no where ready to go on air.
They can still go to air on their streaming app, will they?
Electricians can fix this in a few days but if power returns to tower site in less than a day, then i suspect something else going on.
Depends on if this was a copper theft (wiring up to the transformer, cables, coax sections, copper in the transmitter building) or just a "sabotage by wire cutter".
From the pic, it looks like the higher gauge copper was cut in the box so it could be pulled out of the conduits outside the building. That has theft written all over it.
If he's already crying conspiracy, I don't see his show lasting long. Renan AlmƩndarez Coello and Luis JimƩnez had a similar attitude towards their competition the times they've tried to relaunch their radio shows.
The similarly shafted PiolĆn may have gotten a raw deal, but he never acted like this. Which probably explains why he's kept his radio show even though he's not a morning guy anymore.
KROI is back on the air at a 6pm check. Full HD, so appears to be the main site.
Welp now we wait š
My experience tells me that it will take 3 months (3 FULL BOOKS) Before Raul shows better numbers than KLTN. I know MR ingeniero has to cheer for his team but RAUL is still on top of his game! I'm betting on BRINDIS.
His "game" fell to totally unacceptable levels before Univision let him go. He does not have a "game".
He never took sound advice (including actual listener one-on-one comments) that could have saved him, and, instead, went the wrong way in changing times. His fault, his ego's fault entirely.
I have worked with three very strong morning shows, and when they left or were let go, they never recovered: Humberto Luna, El Cucuy, PiolĆn. In all three cases, the talent did not choose to accept listener research done with their own listeners and instead sided with some "carnal" or friend who guided them wrong.
My bet is that you are wrong on this one. This is not a cucuy and for sure this is not a piolin .
Im sure he could but TelevisaUnivision will find ways to regain those numbers. What will SBS do if Raul doesnt perform and has a network show that may do better. Raul cant block or prevent SBS to do that.
Its hard to recover numbers after being out for over a year. Theres not much numbers to split, KLTN KTJM KJOJ KQQK KROI and more , how many ways you can split the numbers , it be difficult to take number and to be at top for long. Its not 2001, where KLTN was pulling 8ās for the public ratings, the morning show was pulling double digits above every radio station. Thats long gone.
I will say KLTN and the sister stations KAMA KOVE KQBU are all doing their best.
Its true that we supported Raul for anything and everything he needed but the last few years he had this āmy show, my way, i built this company, if it wasnt for me, etcā. There a ton more people persons in thr company that made him successful. That money doesnt come in without equipment studios licenses Sales, Promotions, Engineering, Management, all everyone in the building. But he is all me me me.
No, it is more a Humberto Luna... too many years doing the same thing... over three decades... his listeners were aging out and were mostly over 50 (Spanish language ad buys are still mostly against 18-49 or a subset). He was not doing well for may years in 25-34 and even 35-44.
