KIDR/KNUV

M

multiplex

Interesting watching KIDR and KNUV the past ten days or so. Before KNUV's debut, KIDR was mainly rebroadcasting Mexico's Radio Formula. And during KNUV's first week, it seemed to be carrying a different network during non-local hours. (My Spanish isn't so good that I can be absolutely sure of this!)
On Sunday morning, however, KNUV was carrying Radio Formula, and KIDR was segueing music with IDs.
But here's what's interesting to me. About noon Sunday, they were running "W Radio," which, whenever I tuned in Sunday, was running an FM airing mainly English-language pop from the past decade with an occasional Spanish song in the mix. Could be wrong, but I was under the impression Sunday's programing was from Madrid.

At 3 a.m. Monday, that changed to "Radio Caracol," with traffic for the Miami area and programs like "A Hora Mundo" and "Hora Mexico," lots of news content in the morning. Later kIDR returned to segued music and possibly another source, and since then, I've heard more Radio Caracol and W Radio with a web address of www.wradio.com.mx, but none of the pop I was hearing Sunday.
On Radio Caracol, there have been references to GLR (Grupa Latina Radio.)
Search engine queries really haven't helped much, (although I haven't looked for glr.com or glr.com.mx.
Can anyone here tell me what network KIDR is relaying, or whether it's more than one? And is this Sunday feed from Madrid as I thought?
More to the point, if the Sunday feed is from Spain, is this run by the company buying XETRA-690 across the border from San Diego?
Thanks for any insight you may have.

All this programming, CARACOL, Cuarenta Principales, W Radio, etc., comes from the Grupo PRISA affiliation via GLR, the US branch of PRISA. PRISA, the largest international broadcaster in the world, has about 1100 station in nearly a dozen countries.

PRISA is a Spanish company, with over 50% of all radio listening in Spain, and operations in Argentina, Chile, Collombia, Panama, Mexico, Costa Rica, France and the US.

It's an AM, and a limited one at that.

Plus, Phoenix Hispanics are about 95% from Mexico. Salsa is afro-antillean caribbean music, bossa is Brazilian, Flamenco is a form of Spanish folk or gypsy music. There is no interest in any of those music forms in Phoenix, and the regional Mexican stations play a lot of Mexican tropical already.

WELL,

ONE OF MY FAVORITE HANGOUTS IS LA GRANDE ORANGE / POSTINO / CHELSEAS; ALWAYS BUSY BUSY WITH TRENDSETTERS, HIGH INCOME (EXPENDABLE) HIPSTERS WHO LIKE TO LOUNGE AND ENJOY THE LOUD IN-STORE MUSIC SELECTIONS OF SALSA, BOSSA NOVA, FLAMENCO AND THE LIKE.

MANY TIMES THE MUSIC GETS THE PEOPLE TO DANCE WHILE STANDING IN LINE FOR THEIR PIZZA / PASTRIES OR WHILE LOUNGIN ON THE PATIO.

TAKE A TRIP TO 40TH / CAMPBELL AND CHECK OUT THE VIBE.

THE SAME GOES FOR NUMEROUS ESTABLISHMENTS THROUGHOUT SCOTTSDALE AND BEYOND.

CHILL IS THE FUTURE.
