Don't Count My Boy Raul Out...

I listen to the BMF Show and it really doesn't sound much different from before they switched "La Mala". Then again, it's the only Spanish-language morning show that comes into my area. The only other station that comes in is WPPN and it does not have a personality-intensive show.

"La Mala" is a bit too "chilanga" for me to find correct in that kind of show.

For those who are asking "What the F?" a "chilango" or "chilanga" is a person from Mexico City. People in other parts of Mexico often... perhaps generally... find them pretentious and distant.

Example: at a famous lobster restaurant on the coast south of Tijuana, there was a sign that said, "No Dogs or Chilangos". Or painted on a bridge I saw in Monterrey: "Haz Patria, mata un chilango" (Be a patriot, kill a chilango.)

Since the vast, enormous majority of first generation Mexican immigrants in Houston are not from Mexico City, pushing a pseudo-chilanga on them is kinda' negative.

In my opinion Televisaunivision is trying to run Texas stations like if they were running California stations. Yes we have lots of similarities but also lots of differences. Just cause it works in LA doesn’t mean it will work in Houston.

Yeah, I was told that when we did the Recuerdo network. People said that the music was wrong, that the style was wrong, and that kind of thing. Then the ratings showed that it was #1 in Dallas, almost tied with Estéreo Latino in Houston, strong #2 on a bad signal in Chicago, so that difference is minimal.

Same thing happened to MEGA TV, it might have been great in MIAMI (don’t know for sure) but just cause it worked there doesn’t mean it worked here.

The problem with Mega is that all the available content was already controlled by the bigger players, so they had nothing to offer... even in Miami where they did not get decent ratings.

The point of the chilanga in that kind of show is to be the butt of the joke. "La Chokolata" character in Erazno y La Chokolata is also meant to poke fun at chilangos, especially high class ones.

Sorry David but I'm pretty sure you are wrong on this one. A year from now Raul will still be leading

We'll see how well his take ages in a year or two.

Having said that, most nobody in any format has longer than a 30 year run in the same market. Rick Dees had a roughly 30 year run in LA, but, after he got pushed out at KIIS, he had mediocre, at best, numbers in his unsuccessful comeback attempts. I can think of a few isolated examples of longer runs, like Dale Dorman in Boston, but most people, including some really good talents, who are in radio at 20 are gone by the time they're 30. The unfortunate reality is that radio has fewer prime slots than it has prime talents. Just being good, or even great, isn't enough.

Didn’t help that perhaps 75% of the MEGA-TV schedule in Houston was infomercials, with the rest bottom tier shows. Azteca America appeared top class in comparison. Perhaps not enough room for six full power Spanish language TV stations in Houston, despite broader demographic trends.

At least in Puerto Rico, a large part of the schedule was video broadcasts of the radio shows.

For a while. This is novelty, but history has shown that no major Hispanic morning show talent has lasted more than about 25 to 30 years at best... whether it be Piolín, don Cheto, El Cucuy, or even El Genio Lucas.

The real issue in Houston is the horrible performance of the "realigned" UnivisionTelevisa morning show. It is so bad that it has even lost in Dallas where KLNO took a major drop, due in a great part to the morning show.

Honestly, it's interesting that so many Regional Mexican morning shows are kind of struggling when the musical genre itself is the hottest it's ever been.

I’m surprised Azteca left USA, I think it was something like a franchise, I’m not sure what that was actually called. I think Azteca Mexico didn’t actually run it. Wasn’t there also a local multimedios channel here in Houston?

Azteca America was originally a subsidiary of TV Azteca 2001-14 but was later sold to HC2 Holdings which was licensed to use the branding.

Yes, KHLM which was a LPTV on virtual and RF Channel 43. They went dark around the time of the UHF repack in 2019 but later returned on virtual Channel 12 (RF10) and the station now runs religious programming.

People talk about KLTN and other Univision station's struggles, but they recently bragged about their morning show's ratings.

And people say SBS plays around with the ratings.

Oddly enough, they didn't include their flagship station, La Nueva 101.9 KSCA, in the post. Or their San Francisco station.

In Los Angeles and San Francisco, it has always seemed to be tight between SBS and Univision for the top spot in Regional Mexican. In San Jose, KSQL dominates over KRZZ with KXZM practically being non-existent.

KRZZ does not have as good of a signal in the South Bay, that's way. I wonder if things would be the same if they had a simulcast there.

Still not Number one in Houston.

Remember, what stations promote for advertisers are sales demos... mostly 18-49 for Spanish language stations (and sometimes 25-54 in general market sales situations). In Houston, the Bryndis show leans older than the others.
 
Saw someone post a screenshot of an article by insideradio.com that says something along the lines of Judge dismisses payola claim against raul brindis and when I googled it I can see that it existed but it's been deleted from the page... Anyone know what that's all about? I know that Univision claimed that was one of the reasons he was let go, but I don't see it anywhere else.
