1380 Baton Rouge Silent

S

smashedcd

1380 in Baton Rouge is silent. I scanned the dial yesterday to see if any changes had taken place and 1380 was not there. I dont know when they shut it down but its not on now. The website says down for maintience but it has said that for at least a week now. Anyone know when the new owners will take over? Any changes in store? New format maybe? Also 1260 was playing Stevie Ray Vaughn ;D
 
And to think, it was sold again!!!!!!!

WPYR was a gospel station that was sold by clear channel in a swap with a guy from South Carolina (Michael Glitner). He flipping it to another group (Davidson media) who owns WFNO 830 am in New Orleans and parts of stations in the Shreveport area.

Glitner filed papers with the FCC to take the station dark due to no equipment and or staff to run the station.

Johnny I was thinking that too, that they would do something possibly like that as this would be BRs first Hispanic station that I know of if the deal goes through.

And it's my bad... CC did a swap with one group who sold it to the current owner who is selling it to Davidson. Since the current owner has no studios I expect that when Davidson finally owns it or signs a LMA on it at least, that either a fast put together studio or a relay would be installed on there.
 
All of this Spanish programming in Louisiana and the opening of the Mexican Consulate in New Orleans can only mean one thing: Armageddon is near!
 
Nope , Katrina and shipbuilding brought a reason for more hispanics to make the move from Texas and Mexico to Louisiana and media owners are just programming to those untapped people.

Think of it. New Orleans now has it's own full power Hispanic station (Telemundo KGLA 42.1) that it never had before (most hispanic programming only came on with in the past few years and was limited to Low power transmitters in NOLA before KGLA)

and spanish was on at 10:30 am this morning.. sort of a romantic sounding song.. Haven't listened too much and would have to go to the Houston board to even figure out what they were playing but probably spanish a/c like WFNO is
