Rumba & Beat On The Move

[101.9 La Kalle]

If SBS ends up selling El Zol 97.1 (maybe to EMF?) the space isn't as crowded.

I don't see SBS selling WSUN, even if they're not making as much money as nearby WPYO, they're still clearing the Zol/Sol brand in Tampa.

And they're making money off the concerts that Tampans can drive to Orlando to see.

The SBS deal wasn't just about radio stations. It was about live entertainment. SBS had Central Florida spinoffs of their Puerto Rican concerts like el Día Nacional de la Zalsa and Guaya Guaya, but no place to promote them.

Not happening on either end. SBS isn't selling any radio properties and EMF's acquisition budget has been decreased immensely this year.

With 106.5 changing to The Beat today, this is the iHeart Sarasota FM lineup:

92.1/103.1 - 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐜 Country
105.9 - 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐜 Rock
106.5 - 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐜 Hip Hop
107.9 - 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐜 Hits

Notice any similarities there? If those aren’t old enough you can flip to AM and listen to Oldies 1320.

Why would they sell a station they just bought in a market that enhances their Florida Hispanic coverage.?

Florida is heaven’s waiting room. Old people from the north can’t tolerate the cold as well so they decide to move to Florida. A 60 year old was born in 1964 and was 30 in 1994 when hip hop was taking off. So maybe a classic hip hop station would do well.

Facepalm.

I really shouldn’t be surprised at such an iHeart mistake, but at least get the frequency right. Incredible.

No, it wouldn't.

Looks like they've refreshed the graphics a bit.

Website still showing old/non-working links.



Swing and a miss!

With the new logo, it looks like they are de-emphasizing the 102.9 signal as if they don’t expect many listeners from it.
