Puro Tejano 980... So Long

T

texano

I seem to notice their imaging saying purotejanohouston.com..over and over.....
And they had had a live dj on yesterday announcing and I guess pushing listeners to jump on the band wagon and get HD Radio. Are we hours or days away from the big farewell? Sounds like it to me. Lets see what the people will do now, first NO Tejano at Rodeo now what? Wonder whats in store for 980 from the new buyers.
 
On the Puro Tejano myspace page, the station states puro tejano 105.3 fm again. They hd stopped puting 105.3 on it but they started yesterday.
 
it will be back ... nothing can put tejano fans down .. just watch,,, numbers where good when they had a young year old pd... put him back in youll see the status... all my peeps seen him out at public events him and his crew are the best we ever seen......... read the journal the facts are there.... little joe all the way
 
Before it was wiped out it had a CP to upgrade and relocate.
IIRC the station will come back licensed to Winnie.
It will cover a lot more ground but most of it will be added in the Beaumont market.
 
You're right, Fred, except that Ike destroyed the transmitter building before the FCC approved the upgrade. The relocation to the new site will take time since the CP is just two months old, and as mentioned a while back there's no reason for KPTI to rebuild at the sand bar site in the meantime (co-located KSTB really has no choice).

And no, it isn't an upgrade for Tejano in Houston since even with the higher power 105.3 will be moving north-eastward into the Beaumont market: www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/FMTV-service-area?x=FM1209679.html Sure it'll be available on 102.9 HD2, but until there are more HD radios out there it's going to be a rough road for them.
