ESPN Deportes Radio on 102.5 (I think.)

M

Mediafrog+

Past couple of evenings I’ve been hearing what I think is ESPN Deportes on 102.5 fighting with KMAZ between the West Loop and the Beltway. MrTejano had reported hearing this some weeks back, but I had never heard it on my commute. It appears something has changed and the signal is better, causing grief to KMAZ outside the Loop.

Anyone else hearing this? I am thinking the station might be K273AL from the Humble area. Radio-locator shows it with a null towards KMAZ but with lobes going both SW and SE. The SW lobe is aimed right at 290.

Once I reach the Beltway the KULF translator in Bellville starts drowning out both ESPN Deportes and KMAZ.
 
I have lost KMAZ going North on 45 and I hear ESPN DEPORTES and also what I think is LA NUEVA 91.5 on 102.5.
 
While on the subject of ESPN Deportes: the network has reappeared on KCOH 1230. Bad internet feed, though, with dropouts and digital stuttering. Dead air where the legal ID was supposed to go. Perhaps this is now the originating station for K273AL.
 
I remember 2 years ago I was able to get KMAZ about 2 miles north of 1960 and south like 2 to 3 miles south of the beltway now I can not even get it 8 to 10 from downtown. On the south side I starting to hear more of the country station from the Bay City area the rest of the 102.5s should be illegal. There are a lot translators and LPFMs running illegally or just not even running at all the FCC does nothing about them. FCC has gone crazy giving out translator and LPFM licenses they are killing the FM band. Time to open the low end of the FM band 81.1 to 87.3 for unlicensed broadcasting with 50 watts and a lot of restrictions.
 
KMAZ is unlistenable around the northeast tip of the Heights (45 and 610). I'm hearing a lot of garbled digitalized audio. It's ESPN radio en Espanol.
