Mind blowing. So Hector decides to launch a talk-sports station on 880 instead of keeping or having one of his translators legal. Really shows the lack of interest to follow the rules. I think 106.1 is still on the air because i was able to hear it here in cypress for just a few seconds but for sure not as strong as it was a year ago. So as of now 94.1 is on 106.5 hd3 i think it is so that one is legal but 102.5, 99.5 ,104.5 and 106.5 dont have a primary signal (106.1) does till Sept 1.

Do you know anything more about that format? I’m just hearing music when checking KJOZ.
Listened earlier and it’s a revival of LATINOS SPORT. Yes LATINOS SPORT, not LATINOS SPORTS. The TOH said playing music and talk of sports.
So a revival of Latinos Sport Houston that was briefly on 97.3 some years back?

Seems like it it.
Directing your attention to the usually moribund Houston TV board and the news that Nexstar is buying TEGNA:
Missing translators:
K291CE 106.1 has been off the air for ten days now.
Also noticed that K235CS 94.9 (KLVL translator) is also missing. Had been on a few days ago.
Has occurred to me that I haven’t heard anything out of K260DD 99.9 (KRCM) in quite a while.

Remember, in Spanish we generally refer to "sports" (plural) as "el deporte" (singular). So "Latino Sport" or "Latinos Sport" sounds better.
Better would be "Deportes" and the dial position, as in "Deportes 99" or similar. If you are broadcasting in Spanish, why is there a need to say that you are "Latino" as if that were not rather obvious!
I did get a chance to hear 106.1 maybe 5 days ago, but for sure running on very little power. I don't see them being able to get a new client to rent the station with the way it sounds now. I would say leasing an HD now will probably run you 3-5k . I could be mistaken, but was that translator not sold like 6 years ago for a bit over a million dls ?
They did modify their license to reduce power a few years ago. It's a bit mind boggling as to why, but I suppose they could always modify their license again to get back to the original 245 watts from downtown.
i thought that was Centro Cristiano programming, well that is what they told me.
It is, but it was silent when I wrote this idk if it still is silent.
The translators are all on, but are dead air. Would indicate a loss of studio feed for all three (aren’t they co-located?)
K269GS 101.7 has (finally) officially filed to change its primary station to KHPT HD-3, to reflect the situation that has been in place for some time.

99.5 must not be then cause they seemed fine.
Been several years since I’ve heard anything out of KQEU. Likely yet another LPFM that just disappeared without notifying the FCC.
In the past when I noticed the downtown translators all had issues Power was the only one that was fine.
It is but the station on 94.1 is called La Nueva
