Alt 92.3 HD-2

Spanish PBP isn't exactly a great fit for an English language Alternative station but it would fit in well on a station playing reggaetĂłn. Not that I'd like to hear that since I actually like Alt 92.3 (HD2).

Then again, those HD2 channels are where the companies put content that they don't have room for on a primary FM, so maybe that's all this is and the format doesn't matter.

The Block actually seems like it would be a better fit for the Spanish PBP. Plus, they could have grown its puny cume! Oh well, another missed opportunity.

The primary 94.7 signal would be a better use than an HD2?

We don't know yet if Audacy is shifting other HD sub-channels to have the Spanish games with a better format fit, such as their "WINS Noticias" streaming product. Channel Q has been on both WINS-HD3 and WNEW-HD2 for a couple months so there could be another shoe to drop.
 
It would seem to make sense for Audacy to offer some sort of Hispanic content on WINS HD2, to go with the Mets broadcasts in Spanish. As has been discussed on this board, there are numerous Spanish language formats that are unavailable in this market.

For Mets broadcasts? Well yes, if they actually want people to hear them. The uptake on HD subchannels isn't exactly on fire, is it?

But maybe it's just a way for Audacy to fulfill a contractual obligation to air the games OTA while expecting most Spanish speaking fans to stream them instead? 🤷‍♂️

That's what I'm thinking. HD2 technically fulfills an OTA requirement. Baseball fans are a dedicated group, they will find the streaming app. And for those who don't want to mess with the app in their cars, there's the HD available.
 
Max Perez-Jimenez.. That's a name I didn't expect to return to the airwaves anytime soon. I'm excited to see him at Audacy doing Mets Baseball in Spanish.

Even if it does get taken away. The format will be back on FM when 94.7 the block signs off sometime before the end of 2024. It seems obvious at this point

Again, you are neglecting the cluster sales strategy here. Adding an Hispanic and Black focused format to the cluster package is of much greater value than you can see from the (useless) 6+ shares.

I'm an ardent defender of their format, but this is a joke, right? Here's the webpage for their morning show. There's literally no clickable content. It's a tiny photo of the jock.

That's what you'd expect to see from a small market AM station in the middle of nowhere, not Market # 1.
No offense to small market radio, a lot of them do a great job serving their community.

I played that game for 15 months. Brutal. Serving communities is more enjoyable when the community doesn't suck.
 
I'd actually love to see WINS Noticias launch on 92.3 HD2 and Alt replacing Q on 92.3 HD3, maybe then they'll actually make a stream for WINS Noticias on the Audacy site.

I see what you’re saying. But, isn’t the 94.7 signal in the suburbs for the most part? Do the clients they look to reach live in the areas where 94.7 reaches or is popular?
