Radio Luz Dallas coming to an end
- Thread starter SomeRadioGuy
- Start date
Salem still has a few markets where they appear to have a second brokered time AM station (in addition to “The Answer”) to go along with (the equivalent of) the Word format, sort of an overflow outlet for additional clients.
They still have one CCM station in 95.9 W240-CX & WTOH-HD2 in Columbus, Ohio, but you're pretty much spot on elsewhere. Noticed their religious format stations have in recent months added on weekends a 3-hour Christian Music show called Keep The Faith.
My understanding is 95.9 is being shopped around. Would love to see a unique format in Columbus like a take on AAA.
The Word formatted stations picking up Keep The Faith is interesting...
When I saw the heading of this post and no mention of what comes later, I assumed the station would be going off the air. Glad to hear it isn't. It's disappointing to read of AM stations getting shut down.
As said above, Salem will do something else with the 620 frequency. 5,000 watts by day, 4,500 watts at night, always directional with a four-tower array in Princeton.
Dallas does have several other Spanish-language Christian stations: 540 KDFT, 990 KFCD, 1360 KMNY and Spanish Catholic 850 KJON.

As of early November 1st, 620 is simulcasting KWRD-FM 100.7. There is no mention of 620 on air or online.
Possibilities:
- 620 is combined with rimshot 100.7 long term for better full market coverage.
- 620 is eventually taking The Word format and 100.7 will be sold off, as Lance suggested as an option.
- Radio Luz personnel were part of the recent Salem layoffs and a KWRD simulcast on 620 was the easiest and most logical program solution while 620 is shopped for a new buyer or lease partner.

The only on-air mention is the legal id at the top of the hour.
Salem still owns the big Collinsville stick, don't they? That has to be a big moneymaker.
I would love to see classic country on some of these stations that aren't. I sometimes get 680 out of San Antonio which has been
classic country for years!

Univision did not have any presence in radio until mid 2002. Prior to that, it was HBC (Hispanic Broadcasting) and the Dallas cluster was put together by Cecil Heftel.
At one point, I was the temporary General Manager of the cluster. I remember the call, at around 3 AM, from Cecil: "David, you need to be in Dallas today. They broke my radio stations."
