Yet they don't run it in Puerto Rico. I am told that the announcing and music are "too Mexican" for the Island; that is why Univision TV left Puerto Rico as most of their shows were culturally and language-wise not right for the Island.
The coverage area of the EMF station on the Island is a bit over 2 million people. In Puerto Rico, there is a huge percentage of bilingual persons, many of whom are potential listeners. Most of those on the Island who go to private and Catholic schools (meaning everyone in the middle and higher income classes and lots of scholarship kids) are taught bilingually with some classes in English and some in Spanish.
Reality shows get very little viewing. They seem to be culturally very distant from what the Puerto Rican audience enjoys.
Obviously, and like all border communities, much of the Hispanic population in Yuma has been there for several if not many generations. That means they are bilingual or even English-only.
On the way back home, I made a stop in the Foothills to listen more to KIZY. They call themselves '5 Point Radio, where raw music meets real talk'. I found an internet stream that matches what's on air. But the stream is located in Coshocton, OH. My curiosity took me to the location of the transmitter site coordinates. It's a residence/business called Z's Ranch ( They sell chicken and duck eggs). I think I spotted the antenna, a Figure 8 type mounted on top of a 25 foot pole attached to a shed.

Anyways, I don't know what the Ozcat, 5 point, Z's ranch, and KIZY connection is...

I'm willing to bet, the 100 watt transmitter, any studio equipment (probably just a laptop for the Internet feed), is inside that white shed Lol.
The signal is limited to the unincorporated Foothills area. It was just past the airport (eastbound) on I-8 when it becomes listenable with some drifting. Reception seemed to be best east of the transmitter site, which is open desert.
