La Nueva back on air

[davideduardo]

Are you joking or being serious? Considering how many labor unions at one point were run by the mob and how many of them use shady recruiting/expansion tactics, I can't tell if this is a joke or not?

It's not a joke. No other union can play the race card better than the UFW, which is as much an Hispanic social movement as it is a labor union. To criticize a UFW station might be perceived as being racist, and other broadcasters do not want to go there. That's why it took a farm owner to blow the whistle.

It does seem kind of odd that a Labor Union needs nine Regional Mexican Stations, one Tejano station, and one beautiful music station. I wonder how they sell this to their due paying members?

The radio stations target the UFW constituency; they began with the goal of giving a voice to a disenfranchised segment of the population. They do include messages and items that are UFW related, and they reflect their member's lifestyle.

The Beautiful Music station is awaiting a transmitter move to become part of the La Campesina Phoenix operation.

The members love the stations, and they make money. They keep the dues down.

Was listening to them yesterday and Pastor Guevara was saying spread the word we are on 91.5, 95.3 and 107.3.

It'll take more than a prayer for those stations to cover Houston.

He should have said it was on all frequencies where they are illegally broadcasting.

I’ve been hearing La Nueva on 95.3 near 290 and Beltway 8. Not sure if this is the unnamed LPFM that has a 10 watt construction permit on the KPFT tower.

Also hearing La Nueva weakly on 91.5.

There is a CP for a LPFM on 107.3 in Conroe. Could this be the third station?

I thought LPFMs couldn't simulcast each other?

There are a number of religious LPFMs that run a network for much of their schedule...EWTN seems to be on quite few. Locally KEPH has Calvary Chapel programming, and KOYM appears to be a network as well. KRUT falls into this category with Radio Fortaleza Internacional. I haven't listened to the other religious LPFMs long enough to determine programming sources, but some are indeed local origination.
