Radio Disney to be shuttered, KRDC to be sold

I'm on the Santa Clarita SDR

I'm still hearing Music, But it's not Country
Maybe hearing another station that KRDC covered up while they were OTA? Or a station adjacent bleeding over? Only other 1110 AMs I could find with a current music format with enough juice to MAYBE reach Ca. would be KVTT from Mineral Wells, Texas or KFAB out of of Omaha, Nebraska but they're supposed to be news-talk.

On the website?
Yes, when I said "off the air" I meant the website. It was all black, Radio Disney logo up top, and links to three legal type notices. No music, no way to hit a link to play music whatsoever.

Sorry about the "off the air" comment being confusing... just the phrase that came to mind, I guess.
 
They'll sell KRDC. Radio Disney will live on in Latin America, where of course it is a different animal altogether.
The Radio Disney stations in Latin America are basically 20-40 year old female targeted stations appealing to the A and B socioeconomic levels (upper and upper middle in most nations) with what is an AC format, mostly with English language music but Spanish language announcing). It's intended to enhance the Disney brand for the large group of women with children who might go to movies, want to visit a theme park on vacation or buy merchandise or other tie-ins.

The stations are not owned by Disney. They are licensed, and done locally in each country with a set of guidelines.
 
Disney bought high and sold low on their former stations. No exception here...but at least there's an FM translator paired to 11~Ten.
And that translator has less than 200,000 persons in its 60 dbu coverage area in a market of 14 million. That yields an ugly math calculation of the percentage of the market covered. That is not a "Gremlin". It is a "Yugo".
 

Here is an editorial on Radio Disney before it shuts down.

Seems like theyve just been playing about the same hundred songs over and over lately.
