I enjoyed the thread about Unique/Eclectic Small-Market Stations; several of the contributors' stations are now in my listening rotation.
Perhaps you folks who speak Spanish or just enjoy Spanish-language US-radio could suggest some outlets I would appreciate it.
Here are my starters:
* KZLZ Tucson, Arizona - Not a small market broadcaster but they do carry Hermosillo Naranjeros beisbol of the Mexican Pacific Coast (Winter) League
* KRDM Redmond, Oregon. AM 1240 "La Bronca" carries a lot of the typical national faire but the owner (Juan Zendejas) hosts his own "Los Viejos del Pitufo" (Smurf's Oldies) from 2-3pm PST. When I look at his Shoutcast server he's consistently getting several hundred listeners during that period.
* KTUP Salem, Oregon. A sharetime Class C3 non-comm (10am-6pm Pacific) carries mostly public affairs shows; one exception is a wonderful folk/rock program called "Hispanidades" hosted by station founder Arturo Sarmiento.
* WCLM Laurel, Maryland (Metro DC). "Radio América" is a true cornucopia of Latin American nations, Their 7am and 4pm daily hour-long newsblock is amazing production. Their news department has built a strong network of correspondents througout the Latin America. On the weekends they run a lot of nation-specific shows (El Salvador, Bolivia, Guatemala, etc.)
* KCKO, Río Rico, Arizona. If you want to know about the local news in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico then this border station would be a worth a listen. (The station recently changed ownership so perhaps things have changed.)
* KDUB Watsonville, Callifornia. An LPFM with a deep Mexican playlist. (Honorable mention to nearby AMer KMPG in Hollister.)
* KBWE Burley, Idaho. Serving the Treasure Valley's Spanish-speaking community - a Class A non-comm.
Your suggestions are welcomed.
