Mega has a mid range share, and is beaten by KPTY for Hispanic 18-34. They have had to get a new PD twice, in only about a year, and sales are less than half of what KLOL got in English. Calling this a success is absurd.

KEGL in Dallas now has competition from the oreiginal Recuerdo, which they copied to do the half-baked Preciosa format. Indicators are that KEGL will no longer be successful in Dallas (Recuerdo in McAllen debuted in December as the #1 25-54 station in the entire market).

In fact, Clear can not even get thier Spanish formats straight. WRUM in Orlando is not Hurban. It is Tropical. 80% of the music is salsa and merengue, while Hurban is defined as being based on about 80% reggaetón.

Why, they can not even get the call letters straight (guess that happens when you own 1200 stations and get confused). "XOCL" is not the San Diego (area) station. It is XHOCL, and it is in Tijuana, Mexico. Close, but there is this itsy bitsy borde in the middle there.

All the other stuff is puffery. In fact, CC lost the leading Hispanic position back to Univsion radio after only 6 months, so horrible is the Preciosa format.

ahhh look what crawled out from under its rock.....

the article is not about how successful mega 101 is.... they only get mentioned in 1 sentance...the article is about how good the format is doing in other markets.... its not a local story ...its from the biz wire.... its not even a real story that any-one searched for....its reads like a press relesae from san antonio...... heck i even looked for the (paid advertisment disclaimer)

now crawl back under your rock and let me stomp it donw hard on your head to knock some sense into you

the clear answer ate a burrito and let loose on some stench on this board again

Press release. Finely crafted fictional prose.
Nice toilet read. Printed on the proper paper, it might do
well lining birdcages.

now what?

We did get schooled by the Clear Answer and we're now all dumber for it. The CC graph at the end of the story just ruins its integrity.

"Clear Channel Radio is a leading radio company focused on serving local communities across the U.S. with more than 110 million listeners choosing Clear Channel Radio programming each week. The company's operations include radio broadcasting, syndication and independent media representation. Clear Channel Radio is a division of Clear Channel Communications Inc. (NYSE:CCU), a leading global media and entertainment company. More information on the company can be found at www.clearchannel.com."
Puh-lease--like this company needs to have this written about them? The one company that doesn't need promotional PR is using it excessively. Imagine that.
I bet you can imagine that Clear Answer, the same way this article imagines that CC has taken over the world with its Spanish Language programming.

Snooze.
