POWER 105.3 GOING AWAY?
- Thread starter radioislife2020
- Start date
I was thinking "Power 94.5", personally, with el Señor Rod Ryan en la mañana.
Sorry T, it is 99.5. The old KSBJ translator in Stafford.
And the one here in Houston too. I think Centro has 3 translators on 99.5.
The one in Humble was for sure off the air last time I was in the area
Why would any station in Houston want to play salsa?
The reference is to Power 105.3’s tendency to lean a bit Tropical at times, but it is not a Salsa station. Not the demographics here.
It is also pointing out that any move of Power to 97.5 would be the second time that moniker has been used on that station, the first being its KRWP Churban incarnation 20+ years ago. It appears that Power is going to 99.5 however, so a change on 97.5 may still be some months away.
Lean? I listened to Power over the weekend and the station aired lots of salsa, a small amount of cumbia and merengue, and reggaetón / pop filled the other 65% of the playlist.
That may work in Katyzuela, but salsa is kind of an insecticide for listeners from Mexico and northern Central America.
I do know that outside of a few areas (Veracruz is the most notable that pops into my mind) there are very few areas with decently performing Tropical stations in Mexico.
And those are mostly "Mexican" tropical which is based on the Colombian Cumbia. From the Sonora Santanera to the Ángeles Azules.
Did Power make the frequency change announcement as promised? Nothing on their FB page yet.
I was listening this morning and the ladies said stay tuned cause because we will make the announcement of the new station we will be on very soon. Covering more area, Katy, Baytown, ect ect
“Listen on Monday morning for the announcement”
Monday Morning:
“We're not saying it yet”
Monday afternoon and nothing on their page.
In television we had a term for this: Anticipointment, anticipation followed by disappointment.
Tease something, then fail to pay off the tease.
Romance 99.5 is now frequently promoting their “new home” on 91.5 and 102.5. I am hearing the format on both of those frequencies, and it is still going on 99.5.
I did tune in at one point just as the air talent was mentioning something about 97.3, but I missed the context. Never heard any further reference about that.

You probably heard 93.7, that’s the station they broadcast in New Orleans.
