In an interview on the station today, Renán Almendárez Coello, "El Cucuy de la mañana" said he will be back on radio next Tuesday AM (June 01) on "La Ley" 95.9/1310 with the show direct from Albuquerque, NM.

This will be interesting to watch, ratings-wise. The show in question never had any significant success outside of Los Angeles, despite syndication by both HBC and SBS/Entravision in multiple significant markets. It did so badly in San Diego that the station operator pulled the plug and switched to English language programming.

David,

Your spot on. I worked at a station that carried him and he was terrible. Couldn't understand what people in LA were smoking to thing he had a good show. Lastly, some stations like sports stations will simulcast the radio on a cable channel and when Mega TV did the same with his show....I would rather watch paint dry....

Having been his PD at LBI for a few years, I would rather drink the paint!

So how's El Cucuy doing? Has he put the "albur" in Alburquerque?

The latest numbers for ABQ cover Feb-Mar_Apr. We won't see any measurement of Cucuy till mid-August, and it will be an extrapolation.

I don't think anybody has anything to worry about in Albuquerque since he doesn't do his show from Albuquerque but from his home in Los Angeles.

Sorry to bump this thread, but I'd like to know how Renan is doing after a couple of months on the air.

He's been off the Albuquerque station a good three weeks and supposedly started a Saturday show on AM 1330 in L.A. today.
