KYAA in the Monterey-Salinas area dropped oldies and switched to a foreign language format I can't quite identify.

Is it Portuguese? I know the owner is Portuguese?

I just tuned in ... I don't recognize the language. The music being played is Middle Eastern. Or Indian. (Am I helping? Didn't think so.)
Joe Rosa, licensee of KYAA (as People's Radio), is a San Jose realtor and is quite prominent in the Portuguese-American community.
He also owned KATD/990 in Concord from 1993-2000, where the illustrious Jim "Vossenova" Vossen served as GM during his final year of ownership.

Answering my own question: it's actually Hindu (Hindi?) according to Jim Vossen at the station.
Because I knew you were hanging on breathlessly, awaiting the answer.

I feel bad for Jim Voseen (Vossenova). He did an Oldies show for Joe Rosa at KATD/Concord, and started at KYAA awhile back - Joe Rosa gives him the gig of OM and then changes (BLEEP) up... Gotta love small world radio.

Vossenova was actually the general manager at KATD/Concord under Joe Rosa until the station was sold to Unica in 2000. Jim is still going to hang in there at the company's stations in Monterey.
Peter B. Collins and Tony Seton are taking over 10,000-watt KRXA/540 in Salinas (Carmel Valley) from Rosa's People's Radio and will make it the flagship for their Radio Free America talk network. I'm not sure when the change will be made (in the next few weeks?), but they'll be headquartered in People's KNRY/KYAA studios.

Re: what about 97.9?

KEBV is owned by a different company (Wolfhouse Radio Group) and operates out of Salinas. In my conversations with people at the stations, the talk was always about the three AMs, but never anything about KEBV.
Were they simulcasting or working under an LMA?
