If you don't actually speak Spanish ...

... please don't be insulting by faking it.

Re: If you don't actually speak Spanish ...

Relax, dude!

That was a machine translation of the sentence in the article from Radio and Records translated via http://babelfish.altavista.com/ Talk to them!

Maybe I should have said "Klausaties La Preciosa 99.3 sheit San Diego sakot'a ar 24. augusta."

Latvian? (we did music tests for Metromedia's station in Riga, and it looks familiar)

You know I suspect that some people who are always looking..searching
for an insult or a potential racist remark. Keep trying to find it
big guy, and I'm sure you'll be successful.

You know, as someone who is partially bilingual, I find that remark insulting as well.

Success!

Go away.<P ID="signature">______________

Re: If you don't actually speak Spanish ...

Just curious: could you explain what's "insulting" about someone making a mistake in trying to use someone else's language? It seems to me that most people who use another language make an occasional mistake...are they all "insulting" people who speak that language fluently?

An since you say you are "partially" bilingual, I assume you don't speak both languages error free, are your honest mistakes also insults?

Good point, I have been listening on line and over the air (when I can pick up the signal in Brea) for a long time and when they started these promos late last week I wondered.... WHY???? If you are listening to KOOL 99.3, you could be bilingual but WOULD you be interested to know about the coming format?
By the same token, if you don't like oldies but are a potential listener to the new format, how would you know about it???????? This seems to me to be ridiculous!! If a tree falls in a forest, would anyone hear it??

On a side point, I remember that day in Feb '97 when FM 101.9 FM signed off the air at 12:15 am. Later that day a laugh track of people including kids laughing was heard all day long. Some fans of the former station MAY have thought they were being laughed at by the new regime. I didn't buy that..Just some of the crazy ways radio stations introduce themselves to the listening public and I guess that only a few radio nuts like those of us here understand.

I was making a point, which was why I didn't put quotes around R&R's name.

But you are correct in terms of normal usage.<P ID="signature">______________

Re: If you don't actually speak Spanish ...

You find nearly everything insulting...what's your problem?
"Go away"--that's real moderator-like, nice touch.

Re: If you don't actually speak Spanish ...

KM...I don't know who you think you are, but I am
not impressed. Others have noted your thin skin
on a myraid of topics. Can we see your resume?
Otherwise keep your trap closed.

Actually I'd like to know what KM's air name was as I find no listing of a K.M. Richards in Don Barrett's "Los Angeles Radio People Vol 2 1957 - 1997".
I'm not saying he wasn't on the air as he has alluded to it a few times....Just wondering (as usual)<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by SuperRadioFan on 08/25/05 04:30 PM.</FONT></P>

Try checking Don's online listings. (Although that hasn't been updated since 1998.)<P ID="signature">______________

I am (1) not impressed by you either; (2) not under any obligation to post my resume, although -- as noted below -- there is a brief listing on Don Barrett's website; (3) do not take orders from you, as in "keep your trap closed".

In fact, that last remark violates Radio-Info rule #5 and -- if brought to the attention of the owners -- would earn you the right to read-only and not post.

Get over it. You do not own this site, nor have the owners made you part of its operation. If you don't like what I say, don't read my posts.<P ID="signature">______________

Thanks.... KWNK huh?? IIRC wasn't Rush on KWNK for a little while before KFI grabbed him??
Also I used to work for a company which sold sponsored PSAs and KWNK was one of the stations we ran messages on. This relationshipo lasted through 670's simulcast of XTRA sports as well.

Yes, and I still have a copy of a Los Angeles Times article which quotes me, as KWNK's OM, saying that Rush's syndicator failed to give us any advance notice (in fact, we found out we were losing him by reading the Times the day previous).

I was the person who engineered the switch from satellite music to talk, which took effect January 2, 1989. Did mornings for three months after the transition as well.<P ID="signature">______________

I remember when an AM station running the hard rock "Z-Rock"
format was being sold to an Asian-American owner who would
be flipping it to Korean a few years ago in NYC.

For the month before the station traded hands, the owners
removed Z-Rock and ran a satellite country format on the
station, I assume supplied by the same firm that distributed
Z-Rock. There were no commercials and NYC had a country FM
at the time. So it really wasn't designed to give country
on AM a try.

Clearly they didn't want to go from hard rock to Korean in
one move, concerned that some disgruntled rock fans might blame
the Korean community for the loss of their favorite station.
