Last time I checked, KXGJ (101.7) stopped their HD broadcasting and KIOX had their IBOC on. I think La Nortena was flipped so La Ranchera can have the dominant signal in Houston. Seems to me they give La Ranchera the upperhand over La Nortena.

KIOX and KQUE are indeed simulcasting each other as (like Juan said would happen) "El Norte". The funny thing about this is KJOJ/Conroe is also simulcasting "El Norte" but alas, at TOH check only KIOX/El Campo and KQUE/Houston are ID'ed. Tsk, tsk. KJOJ is left out again. So we have lost "Azucar" for the 3rd time. KXGJ and KQQK are also simulcasting each other as "XO". Seems odd to me, as in my experience with KIOX's signal it has better penetration into SW Houston than KXGJ. Liberman was covering Houston better with KIOX and KQQK than what KXGJ and KQQK are covering now. So I would agree with the argument that KIOX is a better signal into Houston than KXGJ even though they are both 100kw. KEYH is now on its own again as "La Ranchera" 850. Feels like I time warped back about 10 years!
Don't know if anyone in Bay City/El Campo have noticed, but KXGJ is having some problems this morning. The audio is delayed from KQQK about 5 seconds, and KXGJ drops off audio about every 3 to 5 seconds like it is losing the feed. Someone may want to look into that. I must say, that this seems like good utilization of the signals that Liberman has at this point, with the exception of "XO" not covering the city completely like it did with the simulcast of 96.9 and 107.9.
And this makes it a better signal in what way? ???mrtexmex2007 said:Juanito I said 101.7 has a better signal and its also on hd.
Is KQUE breaking away from the simulcast during Rockets games, or will they be available on 96.9 as well? Maybe KIOX will just simply cover the Ricebirds games while KQUE airs the Rockets. I kid, of course.omega said:Oh yeah and by the way the Rockets will no longer be on KYST they will now be on 1230am.

mrtexmex2007 said:Yes its true LBI made alot of changes.
Im just repeating what everybody said already.
La Nortena which means the northern one changed frequency and named. Now its El Norte, which means the North, 96.9 fm, 1230 am and 880 am.
Yes Azucar is gone, Azucar means sugar, and its based on the words of a famous singer that passed away named Ceila Cruz she always said that word Azucar.
La Raza which means The Race is still 98.5 and 103.3.
XO means love, well duh, they are still on 107.9 fm and now on 101.7 fm also.
La Ranchera which means the Ranch one is on 850 am.
The Only station that LBI did not change is KSEV-AM, 700 am The Voice. Is still the same. Hey but one question, I have information that KSEV-AM is owned by LBI. Is that true?
It was NOT JUST "La Nortena". Its' true it stands for "The Northern" in regular spanish, but it was directed to be a regional name. For example, a person from New York would be a Yankee. The word "North" just appeared there because of the region of Mexico this music is played. It's like calling a station "87.5, The Yankee". It has its background to it.mrtexmex2007 said:Yes its true LBI made alot of changes.

Not to shure if this is correct. I wouldn't necessarily say the name was extracted from the late Mrs. Celia Cruz. This phrase is used in many songs. Fito Olivarez uses it in many songs.mrtexmex2007 said:Yes Azucar is gone, Azucar means sugar, and its based on the words of a famous singer that passed away named Ceila Cruz she always said that word Azucar.
Not love, it means Hughs and Kisses. XO was there before it even decided to call itself "Musica Romantica....". XO was not chosen because it ment love.mrtexmex2007 said:XO means love, well duh, they are still on 107.9 fm and now on 101.7 fm also.
It doesn't mean the "Ranch". Stations called "El Rancho" would be appropiate for that name,mrtexmex2007 said:La Ranchera which means the Ranch one is on 850 am.
