Since Clear has to divest Houston stations, there likely will be no differences in the future.

 

[SEMPERFIRADIO]

gracias DE so cc might sell 101

 

[SEMPERFIRADIO]

what about this since cc has an interest in univision, cc will most likely sell mega101
univision will just pick were cc left off
does it or could it be WHAT DO U THINK DE??

 

[mrtexmex2007]

If Clear Channel Sales MEGA maybe NBC would purchase it? I mean Telemundo always tries to act like if Mega was a Telemundo Station!! Just like they did when La Mera Mera was here! They should purchase it!

CC has zero interest in Univision. One of the CC buyers also has an interest in Cumulus and Univision.

There is speculation that CC may have to sell several or all of the Houston cluster.

 

[SEMPERFIRADIO]

that is correct DoJ DOES NOT WANT THE NEW BUYER WHO HAS INTEREST IN CC CUMULUS & UNIVISION
TO HAVE ALL CARDS STACK IN THEIR FAVOR (MONOPOLY)
THAT WOULD GIVE THEM MAJOR CONTROL IN THE MARKET & THEY COULD HIKE THE PRICES FOR THE SPOTS
ALMOST TOTAL CONTROL

SO ANY COMMENTS ON THE NEW DJS FOR TU MUSICA???

Does CC get out of Spanish radio if they can't run stations in the bigger markets? It seems to me getting out of Dallas was done so not to have to sell KEGL. Too bad if they get out of Spanish. Many people will be out of work.

 

[SEMPERFIRADIO]

I WOULD HATE TO SEE CC GET OUT OF THE SPANISH MARKET
A LITTLE C IS ALWAYS GOOD TO STAY SHARP

While Spanish language radio was called an "initiative" at corporate level several years ago, it is now, quite apparently, a format area of opportunity in the future. Where a market has little competiton, like the recent change in West Palm Beach, it makes sense. Or where a change complements a successful station, like the recent addition of 740 AM with Preciosa to Ritmo, it makes sense, too.

In the markets where they can not be the leading station in Hispanic formats, they likely will not be agressive. Dallas was changed because they had fallen to #3 in Spanish language radio, and the PPM looked like an opportunity to fill a rock position that, based on Houston experience, could put KEGL in the top 5 or 6 stations.

I don't see them dropping the formats in places like Orlando, Tulsa, etc. But we don't seem to see them going into markets like LA and Phoenix, either. Probably because they can't win.

So whats the deal ???? How are these two stations doing in their battle???? 104.9 Tu musica and 101.1 MEGA

 

[JMartin1970]

David do you mean like in markets such as Las Vegas where CC beat your copy cat format or Fresno where CC beat your copy cat format or San Jose where CC beat your copy cat format and yes San Jose because KSJO is only a SJ stations and not San Francisco. But wait they almost beat KBRG in SF with a SJ signal. BTW it's obvious that CC changed in Dallas before they were forced to sell just like what has happened in Houston, Las Vegas, San Jose and Fresno. Please give it up. You are insane to keep the constant trash talk against CC.

 

[mrtexmex2007]

If Mega is that good maybe CC will keep the format!

That's enough. We invented Recuerdo in LA in 1999 and put it on the air in February of 2000. As to who is copying whom, the answer should be obvious.

CC Changed in Dallas because the format was way under in ratings and sales budget... just like San francisco (why do you think Kim was let go).

Markiet to keep you eye on: Atlanta. One sale, one flip is what I hear.

So David you invented playing older music on the radio? Wow! I had no idea. The last time I checked you were second in the bay area, Las Vegas, Fresno to play your invented format. [EDIT]

The Recuerdo format was absolutely unique and new when we created it via a multi-tiered research project in 1999. Never before had a structured format been done using genres of music and a range of eras that was so broad. In Mexico, specialization in formats and the desire in rated markets to get as much young A, B and C+ audience as possible precluded both the age range and the genre mix.

Combining pop ballads with grupera and ranchera and tropical and norteña had never been done before, let alone spanning 4 decades of music on one station... it's an original and rather ground breaking experience created by an innovative research technique that redefined format searching.

As mentioned before, in Las Vegas KRGT is at a signal disadvantage.... but it sure wiped KWID out of #1, didn't it? In Fresno, the original and the CCU copy alternate in leadership and in San Francisco KBRG is nearly always the leader (Both KBRG and KSJO are South Bay licences, by the way). The fact remains that KPRC-FM used Recucerdo as a basis for its format (as well as the consentida fomat which also preceded it).
