The Creek?

T

trusty

...so I'm just looking at Radio-Locator, minding my own business, and notice a translator at 96.5 ... licensed to Winder and (supposedly) carrying the same signal as The River ... covering the same area ... from the same tower.

Well, this seems like an obvious waste (DUH), so I do some research ... nothing. Then I actually turn on the radio (as a last resort) and hear Spanish.

Well, since I have a mental block about learning Spanish (because I had to take it in high school, and I had decided that if I was going to learn Spanish I was going to learn it correctly - no mistakes - and we had just gotten this new teacher who had just been graduated from the University of Alabama, whose first words out of her mouth was, "Buenos Dias, Ya'll," which sealed my fate of learning Spanish. (She passed me with a D- out of pity.))

Anyway, what did I miss here? What is 96.5 broadcasting (or rebroadcasting)?
Thanx for the info. Muchos Grackolous.
 
That's Davis Broadcasting's La Mega, sister station to La Raza 102.3. La Mega is a Spanish Contemporary station, like Viva was in Atlanta. To be a translator, however, you have to translate something. So 96.5 is translating WCHK-AM in Canton, GA.
 
This station comes in well in the Stone Mountain area. I always thought it was a pirate
station, as it sounds like it is coming from somebody's bedroom in Jamaica.

Wow! They have bedrooms in Jamaica? I just assumed the weather was always so nice that they just go out and sleep on the beach every night.
