All I can say, is 97.9 is not the same. They are just plain boring. They are way behind 104 when comes to breaking out new music, and their mixshows are horrible. They don't even do the "Caliente Mixmaster Weekends" like they used to. Oh yeah, one big thing I forgot to mention: Steve Harvey is gone, and Ricky Smiley sucks!
