Simply put, Austin has a couple more translators than San Antonio. I understand both cities are about to get a couple more though which currently hold CPs.

In my opinion, the Austin translators have a little more variety and better programmed formats than the San Antonio translators. San Antonio translators are boring, but that's my opinion.
Most Austin translators also generally sound better than the San Antonio ones, better audio quality. I guess ATX has better engineers.

But what's up with the illegally broadcasting translators in San Antonio? They don't really do stuff like that in Austin do they? Of course Austin has a pirate station that refuses to go away... But I thought license holders generally try to keep their licenses.

You know, what's odd to me is that San Antonio and Austin have multitudes of translators, while Houston has 3 area wide, and only KUHA's is even licensed to Houston. How does that happen when Houston has a population greater than basically S.A. and Austin combined? It's been kind of an enigma that we haven't seen more translators fire up over here. I guess we're just satisfied with hijacking Beaumont stations to gain facilities, lol.
