El Chulo y La Bola vs. Raúl Bryndis

[gibby]

The Spanish-language morning show wars are
heating up in Austin. So far KHHL is winning
the ratings race with El Chulo while KINV's overall
ratings come dangerously close to the sloppy
KXXS. It appears as though KINV are finally attempting
to re-establish their market share by answering KHHL's
aggresive outdoor advertising. Several weeks ago KINV
strategically positioned an outdoor billboard on South-
bound I-35, just opposite that of El Chulo's with the text
lure of winning $2,000 a week on the Raúl Bryndis show.
Plus, Raúl and company are now broadcasing from 5AM - 12PM!
This certainly has got to be a temporary fix. No?
I can't help be left with the impression that i'll be
listening to a kid's morning show when i see that Raúl
Bryndis outdoor ad. I like how El Chulo ads incorporate
an Austin landmark as part of it's backdrop. Very nice
design.

But, El Chulo took a blow two weeks ago when a member
of their morning show team, Brenda, unexpectedly left the show.
Or, is she simply on vacation? El Chulo made it seem as though
she left. Also, what's going on with BMP's web design team?
They had content problems with their Digital site and now
it seems that it's infiltrated El Chulo site:
http://www.elchuloylabola.com/index.html
The irony is that when you click on "noticias" then "mas" it
forwards to the univision site!
Oh, why isn't Ruben Vela on during drive time?
Here's a marketing idea: El Chulo in the mornings and Ruben Vela in
the afternoons.

In the end, when the dust settles and all the ads come down
who will remain on top? If KINV's ratings don't improve will
we see Eddie "Piolín" Sotelo replacing Raúl and can KHHL sustain
it's market lead? For me at least, this is one of the most
interesting battles to watch in Austin.

Reply: www.elchuloylabolla.com is a site owned by Joaquin Garza, better know as "El Chulo". He and his morning show team have just taken it over and just learning how to administrate it themselves.It may take a few weeks before they have it together.
Until then, Be kind "gibby"

I do hear that BMP is working on it's own sites and should have some of them up soon. Or Not!
Gracias!

Being "kind" has nothing to do with it. The competitive
environment has dramatically changed for Spanish-language
broadcasters. Broadcasters can no longer afford being
sloppy especially with the increasing number of companies now offering
some form of Spanish-language or Hispanic programming i.e.
Clear Channel, Infinity, Cumulus, etc. This number is
likely to grow in the future. Not only are these companies
trying to win the hearts and minds of listeners but are also
trying to recruit the best talent to outperform these new
competitive entrants. This talent won't be interested in working
for a company that does sloppy work. The best will want
to work for the best.

If i'm bmp, i wouldn't want someone "learning" how to administrate
a site. I'd rather have someone who already knows how to
administrate a site.

Gibby PLEASE,
Wake up and smell the chorizo. Companies like Infinity who recently flipped a station in Florida to a Spanish format, are doing so in markets where there has not been a clear Spanish showing. Along with Co-Beast, Clear Channel who also flipped stations to Spanish in Oklahoma and other states in the north east, they have done so because they've seen how companies like BMP have taken little or nothing sticks and turned them in to money makers without spending a great deal of money on property or talent. It's ALL about the Benjiman's gibby.
In case you haven't noticed those companies have a wide variety of tenured talent working for them for half or less than half of what they should be making. If you don't belive that, ask some of the poor latinos working for them. Oh but wait, Yes, how many time do we have to hear "Well its better than digging a ditch or being out of work".
The sad part is those broadcast companies aren't interested in Excelence in Spanish Brodcasting, their interest is in becoming the McDonalds of Spanish Brodcasting. Make the music the star and you don't have to pay talent. Can you say Multi Market Voicetracking. Anyone can run a board.
The even worst part is that they have Latinos is management who for the sake of leading, are leading our people back into poverty. At least this time they're not beaking our backs, just our spirits and our wallets.
As far as a company's want or not, with respect to an employee's personal website, I hope you and they don't belive they can start dictating that too.
After all, some of us still have an understanding of some of our rights under the constitution.
So wake up and smell the chorizo gibby before it ends up in your backside, Oh yes and, Good Radio does not a website make.
Hasta Luego!

I prefer chilaquiles over chorizo.

In Sept. Infinity entered the Fresno market as KKDG
flipped to Viva 106. No clear spanish showing in Fresno
you say. Consider the following in Fresno: KFSO(Clear Channel),
KOND(Univision), KLBN(Lotus), KOQO(Infinity), KGST(Lotus),
KMMM(Lotus), KQEQ(Mapleton), etc. What about Clear Channel
when they entered Las Vegas? No clear spanish showing in Las
Vegas when CC entered you say. Consider the following in
Las Vegas: KISF(Univision), KQMR(Univision), KQRT(Entravision),
KRNN(Entravision).

BMP also isn't interested in "Exclence in Spanish Broadcasting."
How did they promote the Alejandro Fernández, Marc Anthony &
Chayanne concert in San Antonio? KRIO ran liners billing
the show as "El concierto de los conciertos". This is
grammatically wrong. Ask any native spanish speaker and they
will tell you the same. I guess you get what you pay for, huh?

You're right. Radio sites should strictly be used as a
promotional and marketing vehicle. So, you should be able
to at least market and promote your station effectively.
Apparently the discrepancy i noted on the site was enough
for someone to fix. Thanks for listening.

Gibby, Gibby, Gibby.....

Why waste so many cheesy tortilla chips when one good sized chorizo up your backside would do. See, it's still all about economizing.
Its good to see you are an industry person who stays on top of what companies have gone where. It hurts when you talk about Fresno, please, land of the fields, home of the picking. And the only reason there are so many of us in Vegas is cause we're working and making some god money in the sinos. Don't think for a moment 1 of us will be leaving our cushy casino job for a cheap paying radio gig.
Beside, its all about maing shure that a company is not shut out of a possible future, lucrative market. Its a solvency move, don't let it confuse you as being an attempt to promote latino broadcasting. If that were the case they wouldn't be putting so many idiots in charge. Still, its all about the Benjamins, not about serving Mi Gente.
And please, I hope you didn't misunderstand my last post as praising BMP. If so redd it again. Even though it is supposed to be a company owned and for Latinos, it leads the pack in low pay and complacency.
And who cares if a liner or two is grammatically wrong. What sector of our people do you think they're aimed at. The sad part is they are missing the fact that a great deal of us have moved on, and they are not even considering us.
They seem to think that many of us are still running around with holes in our calconsios and a toothpik in our mutli metal teeth. They are wrong. Eventough we are the chlidren of those fine folks, we have moved on and continue to move forward inspite of what anyone else thinks.

And instead of sitting around and wasting our time in writing these stupid posts, that many times miss-direct hate on people or issues, we should be trying to come together to make things better for everyone.

Unless there is something new and compelling on a website normal people just visit it every now and then, just to check it out. It is a tool like an business card. If some one needs your name or number they go to it, other than that its just there in the internet file. Only people like you and maybe me, with a vested interest, are ever so vigilant and critical. Thank GOD listeners aren't that way.
Amor y Suerte mi amigo!

Wow. My comments really hit a nerve with you. Sounds
like you have more at stake in this matter than you
are letting on. The chorizo phallic analogy is so
trite. I don't mind being insulted so long as it's
creatively crafted. How about something like...hey, gibby why
don't you sit on a molcajete and brew in your own mierda!

That still doesn't change the fact that in your previous
post you stated that these companies were ONLY entering
markets with no real spanish showing when i've given
you evidence disputing the contrary.

Uh, you mean "calzoncillos".

Then let's make things better for everyone by communicating
to them using proper english or proper spanish that way they
can use proper english or proper spanish. That means writing
copy that is grammatically correct. Hmm, now there's an
original idea for a COMMUNICATION company.

Again, that still doesn't change the fact that someone changed
the site after i pointed out it's error. If it isn't as
important as you say then why change it. Why not simply ignore
my "stupid post" and move on? There's a novel idea: let's
remind our web visitors of our competitors. It doesn't take
a genius to figure out that the Univision site is rich with content
and it includes listing's of all their radio personalities and
properties. Saludos.

The difference between my comeback and yours is that mine was tastefull. I tried to missspell a few words here and there so you could atleast have something to respond to, but still, mine did not to to straight the gutter. How can you preach gramatics and immediatley take your return to the toillettee.

Therein lies the real you. About the only think I have a stake is getting thru tomorow.

Oh, and who on earth would be believe those websites are in constant chage?
Ofcourse NOT. It was ALL YOU. Your rants and raves make all things happen. We can only hope your around for a very long time so that things will keep getting fixed. Without us the world would be in perill. NOT.

Now, excuse me, the Batfone is ringing.
Calzones or NOT.
Via con Dios !

Whomever it was who influenced the removal of the Univision
link still doesn't change the fact that the website was
poorly planned and executed. The first step in planning
a creative, productive website is the collection of data
to be used later during the actual web design process. A
good developer must work closely with the client to learn
more about who they are, what their business is all about,
and what benefit the website will have for them. Someone should
have caught that error during the assembly of data and should
have never included it as part of the site. That's poor
planning and execution.

When you talk to Batman ask him to return your tights. Oh,
it's "vaya con dios" not "via con dios". Saludos.

Infinity has had Spanish in Fresno since they bouth KOQO and what is KKDG years and years ago. KOQO was the leading Spanish station, and the KKDG frequency was first AC and then Viva, went briefly to English, and came back as Viva again.

They have had both since CBS bought them from American Radio Systems, and they were already Spanish...

And KLSQ Univision and two more locally owned at the time.

"El concierto de los conciertos" is correct. It has been used over and over, from Argentina to Puerto Rico, in fact. If anything, it is stale, but not gramatically incorrect. It's like, in more colloquial language, calling it "la madre de los conciertos."

Tampa had 5 Spanish stations prior to the Tampa launch. Washington had, similarly, 5 prior to Infinity doing a flip there on WHFS. The only difference is that Infinity put FMs with big signals in those markets, while the existing stations were AM or lower power FMs.

Oklahoma is in the Northeast? Clear Channel has flipped no station to Spanish in the Northeast, at all.

The Constitution only protect us from interference by the government. It does not prevent owners of private property from making any restrictions they want. If a company has a policy of no blogging or no posting, it is within its right as a condition of employment. That in no way affects whether the government is impeding your freedomes, which is all the Constitution guarantees.

That is needlessly nasty. You accuse others of underpaying, driving folks into poverty and such... without a drop of proof... and then you prove you took the high road with an anal reference. Nice.
