When did 93.5FM go Spanish in Belle Glade???

Late last year, shortly after the long-time general manager Phil Haire passed away, The station was already allocating time after 7pm every night for spanish programming. New management decided that there was a big audience for a Regional mexican format on FM so the change was made to "El Gran Perro" which is spanish for "The Big Dog".

Wasn't the station known as "The Big Dog" when they were country?

...so the change was made to "El Gran Perro" which is spanish for "The Big Dog".

You have to be kidding? "Perrona" which regers to a dog, means "fabulous" in coloquial Mexican Spanish, but El Gran Perro is senseless. "La más perrona" is a common slogan for hard core regional formats.

: You're right...It is "Senseless!

Are they still airing Marlins Baseball games or have those been dropped? 93.5 used to air them pretty religiously.

La Mas Perrona is 590AM RadioFiesta. 93.5FM's slogan is Radio Lobo which stands for Wolf!!!

You're right. Thanks for the correction.
