What is an undocumented LMA? How do you know? Could it not be the station is leasing most all of their time but retaining some for their own programming (I worked a station that reserved a few hours weekly but leased all other time as a time buy lease not a lease management agreement). Wanting to learn the difference.

KPQS-FM Waterford
- Thread starter Frequency1
- Start date
I wonder if there is even an antenna on the tower for each of the HTM stations?
The station in Waterford appears to be on a cell site but the coordinates are by about 290ft and the one in San Miguel appears to be off by over 340 ft. That is enough for the FCC to cancel their license for not being at the licensed site.
HTM apparently decided to unload their Nassawadox, Virginia station for $100K. WFAJ is a Class B1 signal but failed to reach into the Hampton Roads market. The Eastern Shore (DelMarVA Peninsula) does have a large Hispanic population of mostly Mexican, Guatemalan, and Salvadoran origins so WFAJ did have listenership.
I found the "new" websites of the bifurcated HTM feed that supports KPQS:
Audio: https://stream.soyradioinc.com:8034/index.html?sid=1 (192 kbps audio)
Web: Radio Amigo NetWork
Facebook : Radio Amigo Network
The one-minute long TOH ID remains rather lengthy:
" This is KPQN 96.1 FM Roswell, New Mexico,
K294CB 106.7 FM Clovis, New Mexico,
K283CB 104.5 FM Ruidoso, New Mexico,
K246CG FM 97.1 Las Cruces, New Mexico,
K227BY 93.3 FM Hobbs, New Mexico,
KZHM 95.9 FM Alamogordo
KPQS FM 106.7 Modesto, California
WFAJ 96.9 FM Exmore, Virginia
KPQB 106.1 FM Panhandle, Texas (frequency correct ?)
K222CL 92.3 FM Amarillo, Texas
KQHM 102.3 FM Zapata, Texas"

Panhandle, TX is actually KPQP-FM 94.9. KXHM-FM is on 106.1 in Refugio, TX. Looking on Google Earth there is no tower at the KXHM site.
Geesh. That's almost as bad as a K-LOVE or Calvary Chapel translator network TOH
HTM's ID is far worse than both Klove or Calvary
A Klove full power station usually ID's as "90.9 KLEWV Chugwater-Cheyenne, 91.1 Denver and 88.,3 Scottsbluff"
Klove usually... usually only ID's the full power youre listening to, in full and mentions the frequencies of nearby full powers
"107.9 KKLC Fall River Mills, 101.9 Redding and 88.,3 chico" or "88.3 KLVC Magalia-Chico, 99.5 FM Sacramento and 107.9 Redding"
Calvary Network has FSK ID'er stick ons for some of their translators ... whewn i was in Laramie, WY all you heard on 100.3 K262AI was "90.3 KWYC Cheyenne" because 100.3 would ID using FSK.
Some of their translators may have a multi ID but many wont these days
So youre stretching the truth a bit
How is this in the Sacramento Board, How?
Or the Covenant Network in the Midwest, mostly Missouri and Illinois. I clocked one of their legal IDs at 2m25s.
Might be the record for the most mistakes ever in a top of the hour ID.
whats wrong with it?
What I do not get is why they have to add the frequency, band and state, none of which is useful or required. They could cut the ID by about two-thirds in just "call and city" in a listing.
Were these stations not owned by a lady who is somehow related to RADIO CENTRO from MEXICO?
I didn't even check all of it but...
KPQS is licensed to Waterford; WFAJ is licensed to Nassawadox; KQHM is on 102.7; KPQB doesn't exist and isn't on 106.1 perhaps they mean KPQP 94.9.
And for the other half of HTM's Radio Amigo network the TOH would be:
"KUKY 95.9 Wellton - Yuma
KHMU 100.9 Buttonwillow - Bakersfield
KPQW 106.3 Willows - Colusa
KJSS (sic) 103.9 en Zapata, Texas
KGWG 93.5 en George West, Texas "
Of course we don't hear IDs for San Miguel (KEGT) , Trona (KHMJ) and a few other HTM silent stations.

ive wondered how the HTM stations make any money.. it seems like from what ive read and am told outside of mainly afternoons on some of their stations nearer bigger cities, they run the programming from the Yuma station, commercials and all.
The stations that have local programming look like studios are real basic... simple mixer and consumer grade automation.. and i saw one picture that looked like woindows media player was pulled up on the studio computer, presumably how the feed from yuma comes in
