Really enjoying this music on 1270 AM right now....

...but I don't think they (XEAZ - La Zeta Trece?) airs it all the time. They're playing some 50s and 60s pop tunes in English that I like, even though I'm only 31 and statistically should probably have no interest. I've heard artists like Connie Francis (sp?), Brenda Lee and others of their contemporaries in the last hour or so.
Any idea of another station that airs those songs, for when I don't feel like listening to music on Radio Disney (1580, 1110 & 1690) or Family Radio (910, 1280 & 610)? I've sometimes heard similar music on 1200 KYAA, as well as 1400 Santa Maria & Tuscon, but the GYs especially are tough to get here. Is there one with at least an 0.1 mV/m groundwave signal (1 mV/m or stronger would be better, don't need 10 mV/m to be heard here) into the El Cajon area that's not first-adjacent to a local, or a 0.5mV/m-50% skywave signal that regularly airs that music?
Or am I not the typical listener, being one who pretty much equally likes the ~50s oldies, current and 90s kid-teen pop tunes and traditional non-rock Christian music?
 
XEAZ has reverted back to playing what I'm guessing is the more modern standard fare of spanish-language pop/rock songs as of about 10:30pm. (I do like some of those too, as well - an example being Quiero Volar Contigo by Los Tigres del Norte, as well as other tunes that use accordions, guitars, etc. BTW there's another song I used to hear in the early-to-mid 1990s on 860 XEMO that's recently been on my mind, or at least part of it, but I have no idea who performed it or what the song name was. Was wondering... if I sometime posted a recording of me playing the part of the song I can remember on the piano, would it be possible for someone to figure out what song & artist it may have been?)
During the previous half hour or so, I was thoroughly loving the type of music they were playing. It was all slow tunes - the ones with triplets in between the main beats - back to back to back, my favorite genre of oldies. (Not sure if they're written as 12/8 time, or as 4/4 with triplets, but I digress with the technical music theory.) What is that genre specifically called?
Am checking in on 1170 now (which has what sounds like oldies on Saturday nights) and they're playing a few of those songs, interspersed with other music from the 50s and 60s. (I really liked 1270, though, even though it's a good 15 to 18 dB weaker here, and more prone to co-channel interference and fading especially when turning the radio the wrong way.)

If "Los Tigres del Norte" is one of the artists, the format is not "pop/rock". It is regional Mexican.

In general, if many of the songs feature accordions, it is not pop or rock... and anywhere in Latin America this is true (except for a few examples of "Vallepop" in Colombia only...)

And, in general (again) Spanish language pop / rock sounds very very similar to English language pop and rock.

In San Diego, XHLTN is AC / Pop. Exa and Pulsar are pop.

If you want a description of the common Spanish language radio formats in the US as well as many song clips that illustrate the range of music in each format....

... that should clarify the different music sub genres.
