kjoj 880 am

I tuned in today and noticed that they were playing church music in Spanish all day. Stanislao Marino to be exact, it seemed like they were just playing one cd of him all day.

A new format? Did LBI sale the station also?
 
KJOJ has been sold!

An application was filed last week transferring the station license from Liberman to DAIJ Media, Inc. It was filed on 1/23/12. Here's a link to the application:

Looks like Liberman's shedding some dead weight. I know they sold 96.9 to KSBJ earlier; now this. Hmmm.

So the flip is either Spanish religious or some form of Brokered programming.

Looks like it is in it's final stages!
 
Yawn - another Spanish language black hole on the dial. All they do is make it marginally harder to get WWL.
 
The programming on 880 is different from DAIJ siblings 980 and 1380, so apparently they've found some new clients for brokered time.

To those that speak Spanish, the English language stations are the "black holes." All a matter of perspective.

The difference is - almost all of them can speak English. I know hispanics. Lots of them. There are very few who can't speak English, even if they pretend they can't for whatever reason. White people, as a rule, don't speak foreign. Any foreign, not just Spanish.

Wow, simply wow. My God. As the father of a half Mexican son, I don't know whether to feel angry at you or sorry for you. If ignorance is bliss, you are one happy dude. I suddenly feel I've been time warped back to 1962.

In Houston, Hispanics typically learn Spanish first, then English. In San Antonio, it's backwards as they learn English first, then Spanish. The market reflects the demographic.
Anotherwards Spanish is the second language in San Antonio vs. the first in Houston.

Why? Because I don't speak foreign - any foreign? How is that racist? I don't because it isn't something I need to learn. If I do, I'll get Rosetta stone or something. And my family has been sympathetic to Hispanic causes for 130 years, long before it was politically correct - and in an era where standing up for minorities was downright dangerous.
