oopss, I didnt read the whole thing, so La Que Buena was on 980 before? I didnt know this, and why did they take it of the air? Isnt it better than Recuerdo 106.5? Its even better than Puro Tejano, they could of removed Puro Tejano of the air. But why La Que buena??

Dude you need to check the stuff you plan to post before you post it alot does not fit this from it is super old or mexican station stuff that no one here care about sorry to rain on your prade but it is true

 

[mrtexmex2007]

This board called radio board it is not specific on what format.

Keep in mind that Radio-Locator is often behind in formats, especially ones in other languages.

Also, while I defend your right to post about regional Mexican and Tejano regardless of what most of the board may think, keep in mind that very little irritates radio people more than people who complain about a format they don't listen to going away. If you live in Houston, all you'd have to do is flip the radio on and find out.

Face it Que Buena is gone. Nobody will switch 980 just bwcause you want them to or because you like que Buena. Tejano is here to stay. Those listeners have La Raza 98.5 and 103.3 to listen to.

THanks You, Tejano Is unique in its own way. And has its loyal listeners.

You do know that La Raza is not owned by univision right? And eventually when Univision starts loosing its regional mexican listeners they will come up with a way to bring La Que Buena back. And about tejano I really believe they will be ony on hd just like they are in DFW.

KLTN is regional Mexican; Univsion does not need a second regional in Houston.

My question is in two parts. First, what was the point of dropping K-Love when Amor is basically the same format? I always thought K-Love had a great sound, even though I was not an every day listener. Amor is on a subpar signal compared to what K-Love had, that goes no farther than Conroe and has a tough time reaching as far south as Tiki Bay. K-Love had a signal unmatched to any other Spanish language station, reaching from the oil rigs in the Gulf, to nearly Willis. Perhaps my perception is off, but this seems to be a step backward for the format. Secondly, I understand the schematics of what happened to "Party", and technically it is on a stronger signal but if Univision were truly giving Party listeners a better signal for the station, why 93.3? What about all of those folks in SW Houston, Mo. City, Rosenberg, Richmond, etc. that have lost the Party? If Univision were serious about "upgrading" Party, a true Houston signal would have been used. Not a Port Arthur station. I fear that the Party may be getting "turned out" down the road.

They are behind on Victoria radio, they still have KVIC has hot AC, they havnt been hot AC since 2001, and 100.9 is now Rock not Top 40. I wish they would get it up to date.

Conroe? I think more of the lines of Spring on a regular radio. Even with a handheld radio, the station goes out whenever you leave the Beltway. KOVE goes way farther than Willis. Heck, I pick it up in Bryan at any given time of the day.

I agree with you. I think this move by Univision wasn't the smartest one. I would have personally just flipped La Que Buena to Amor. It was doing well back when K-Love was on 93.3. It might have not been the number one Spanish AC station on 93.3,but by selling it as a package with Recuerdo, it would have given a blow to Mega 101. A good enough blow for CC to get desperate and change. I think Party will now suffer from this move.

Party will be dead gone in a year or 2 there signal sucks in houston west & south west of the 610 west loop there is really no singal this is really killing there ratings hard & fast. What happend to moving 105.3 closer to baytown & upgrading the power I think that would have been the best move for them 3 to 5 years down the road. Now were just counting down the day till party is gone stupidest move ever you just started your death.

The proposal wouldn't move it closer to Baytown but it would upgrade KPTI from a Class A on the sandbar to a C2 with a community of license change to Winnie. This is part of the reallocation of 100.7 from Winnie to Lumberton deal, which still hasn't been approved. Even it were, however, KPTI would still face the same second-adjacent spacing requirement that restricts their tower location now, namely to 105.7 KHCB-FM. I can't remember which of the existing towers near Devers they had proposed to use, but it ran into a roadblock: a proposal for a new Class C2 on 105.3 just across the border in Vinton. That was about five years ago and the last action in the proceeding was a comment filed by Charles Crawford (applicant for the Louisiana allocation) back in 2005.

What kind of ratings system are you using that you've already found out that its "killing their ratings hard and fast"?  If Arbitron has already released numbers to you, then hook us all up with your connection! 

p.s. maybe its that new "I asked all my friends" ratings system that everybody is using.

 

[DJboutit3]

When you lose signal to 50% to 60% of the city your trying to target that will kill your ratings. Before the move party had great siganl into houston now only east side has good signal

This is the point that I'm making. If Univision is honestly attempting to compete with Radio One for the Hip Hop audience, this was not the means to do so. Old Johnny's post was dead on with what I was thinking. Placing Amor at 93.3 would have been more logical to me, as K-Love did have a nice showing while at 93.3 a few years back. However, going back to a true signal upgrade for the listeners of Party would have led me to placing the format at 106.5 with its monster coverage. Recuerdo would move to 104.9 with the simulcast of 105.3 and would lose minimal coverage for the targetted demos thus giving Party a fighting chance against The Box.

i dont beleive the move of party over to 933 was meant to do any help to party.

i beleive party had its chance at the houston market and had everything going its way when they were top 5 , dont remember when or even if they were top 5, but the point is they had the chance to maintain or improve but it has not and much worse it has plummeted. from the old days i worked with homie back then tejano during the day house party at night on 100.7 which is still a rim shot station at devers. now its right back where it started except on 93.3, same tower same power, just slightly by the tiny margins better signal.

the move of Amor of 1049 was meant to start strong and start with something better than 933 in the houston market. 1029, 1065 are not choices to flips, just forget about it. 1010 am and 980 is not even a start. so its 1049. ...933 isnt a good choice becuase beack then we had Orbita on 1007, nice format but same signal problem, so were right back with Amor which is (KLOVE and Orbita) on 1049

is this walking the plank for Party? probably. will there be something in the works for them? will 1053 move, relocate, upgrade? who knows....and if so, will it be for party or will a new format move into its place or que buena returns?

david, the comment about houston doesnt need two regional mexican formats, there no way you going to convince me that the que buena format is the same as estereo. i know estereo is know playing the que buena music more due to music tests but i and so do a lot of us simply turn off or play cds when the que buena music starts. even at clubs, you have your tierra calienta music than will clean the floor off when norteno was playing, even worse, at this club they have seperate clubs in it to separate the norteno and tierra caliente because its just not going to mix, its water and oil.

 

[oldjohnny]

I may be exaggerating a bit too much but, i think we should start talking about the next format that will end up on 93.3 ;D

 

[mrtexmex2007]

Yes I agree with Pelochas, The music they play in Estereo Latino is more of a Tejano/norteno mix. With a variety of spanish music. Its like having mix 96.5 in spanish. La Que Buena played more of what we call in spanish Chuntaro music. Chuntaro would be kind of like those mexican Cowboys.
