Finally! We can recieve a spanish station on FM!

So a Philly radio station that won't last is counting on listenership from the Lehigh Valley? Yupper, should be boffo!
 
Please help me understand how the Spanish community in the Lehigh Valley is going to support a Philly Spanish station, when it hasn't even supported the one local Spanish station it has now? ???
 
it will be interesting to see what ratings Rumba104.5 gets in Philly, in Reading, in Allentown, in Trenton, in Wilmington!
 
Big City Radio's old "Rumba 107.1" New York Quadcast (WYNY/WWXY/WWYY/WWZY) used to get numbers in the low 1's in the Allentown book........The Allentown market was served by the WWYY stick........In fact that was the only market were they did resonable becuase the other 107.1's were not located in highly populated hispanic areas.......Of course the reason why 107.1 changed formats was because Big City Radio went bankrupt and had to sell the 107.1 Quadcast.......Today all the 107.1's (WWYY, WWZY, WXPK, WLIR) are owned by seperate company's and all have english formats.
 
If it is going to big real big in the Lehigh Valley and Reading then one would think a CC station in the Lehigh Valley or reading would have flipped instead of in Philly..............

Oh God.....I hope I did not give CC any ideas...I would hate to loose Z95, Y102 or B104...

Well B104 is doing great so I wouldn't count on that. The other stations though Im not so sure about ... Maybe Nassau on 107.1 or Citadel 100.7? I guess I'm getting my hopes up ... lemme stop.
 
My question had less to do with AM vs FM and more to do with the Economic, Social and information impact that a Spanish station has on the Lehigh Valley and Reading area when it is located in Philly. I mean their not going to take money that spanish advertisers are paying to CC stations in LV and redirect those funds to the Spanish station in Philly. Is Rumba going to support lv/Reading area charity events? Give LV/reading area news,weather and traffic reports? I would have to say no, but am willing to be surprised. So if all your concerned about is which band and the signal strength, then your right and Congrats!

I have a feeling Cisco is just another agenda poster. His theory is either: "as long as a town has at least one Hispanic, it would be a success" to the one I'm leaning to in figuring this guy out: "put my music on every radio station known to Man".

Well frankly, I listen for the most part only philly stations. Because I am hispanic I am proud of this. Everyone has there favorite station and finally I got one representing me. I generally listen to Q for the most part. I love the reggaeton and I think some of the other stuff is okay. Reggaeton is missing in this area on the FM dial. Nothing at all for Hispanics to listen to, now whether it will be a success in the Philly area is a whole other story.
 
You'll have to excuse many of the people on the Philadelphia board and this board. They want the radio dial all to themselves and they can't handle hearing a few Spanish station, despite the Philly dial being like 95% English!
 
A friend of mine, who is more into the engineering end of radio, told me it sounds like Rumba is being transmitted with 2 old tin cans and a rusty wire? I don't know never listened to Philly radio before and probably never will.
 
"...Nothing at all for Hispanics to listen to..."

Cisco, I'm a white guy and there's nothing at all for me to listen to on Lehigh Valley radio either. It's one poorly programmed station after another.
