92.5 has flipped to Spanish!

I am really amazed by this type of comment. In the 50's and 60's, there were maybe 6 truly viable AM signals in the area, and a couple of limited signals like the Class V on 1340. There were only a few format offernings.

Today, every FM is viable, and many AMs, like 570, have upgraded and are also more or less viable. New FMs have come on, several have moved in from rural areas, and new Ams like 760 and 820 have arrived.

There are enough signals to serve every taste and group. Hispanics number nearly 10% of the market, and are certainly deserving of some specific service.

If you don't like it, don't listen. That is what I do with rock stations of any ilk.

I can't agree with you more. I always felt leaving Spanish on AM only was a bit odd. Can anybody spell B-I-G-O-T-R-Y?

Bigotry? You have got to be kidding... no bigotry here. The only color these people respond to is green. They have gotten accustomed to pictures of dead presidents. Bigotry has nothing to do with it. Please save the term for real bigotry.

> Sorry, I got carried away. Musta thought it was 1964 and I was on the picket lines again with Cesar Chavez or somebody. I guess it was too much of that new fangled rock'n'roll. maybe its the Stones on tour again or the full moon.

I was going to start a new thread about this, but you beat me to it, sbe, so I'll reply here. You're exactly right: it's got nothing to do with bigotry, and everything to do with billability and sales potential.<P ID="signature">______________
