Moody Bible Institute To Sell Three AMs As Part Of Digital Shift

Hardly surprising that they would not be making any impact with WGNR. There are very few Spanish speakers in that part of America. The US Census Bureau says in 2010, there were about 4000 residents of Mexican or Puerto Rican ancestry (and a few dozen from other nations in Latin America) in Madison County, and of those two-thirds were born in the United States. I figure this 1kw AM was probably reaching at most 10% of that group of foreign-born Hispanics. So 150 people?

WMBI in Chicago is something of a different question. Moody has run it for almost 100 years. But, such is the state of AM daytimers in 2019.

You sure about that? I have lived in rural parts of Ohio and Michigan (not far from there as the crow flies)
and there were quite a few Spanish speaking residents. More than I run into here in Pittsburgh actually.

Your hunch is probably right. As a proportion, about 1% of all residents of Madison County, Indiana are both Hispanic and foreign-born. About 0.4% of residents of Allegheny County, PA are both Hispanic and foreign-born. So that means that while Madison County is not very densely populated by Hispanics, Pittsburgh is even lower.
Both figures according to the 2017 US Census Bureau American Community Survey.
