Thoughts on WIST?

Do they broadcast Tulane games in Spanish? Well, maybe not. RFLA says someone will beat them there too. What about Spanish Oldies?

Only local sports being broadcast in spanish I'm aware of is the official broadcast of the New Orleans Saints over WFNO (830am).

Crocodile Broadcasting owns KGLA 1540am and he had taken it spanish talk for a bit right after Katrina and he spoke in the Picayune about him (Ernesto Schweikert) wanting to be the voice of the spanish people in New Orleans. Only problem is KGLA is a daytimer.... That and their is still a market for the tropical music.

However Crocodile (as Mayavision) just went into debt with a bank guaranteed financing of the only DTV only station in the market (KGLA-DT) which is Telemundo.... (It's licensed to Hammond but broadcast from Chalmette if I remember.)



Currently there are 2 Spanish Ams (WFNO 830/ KGLA 1540) and two Spanish TV stations (KGLA-DT 42/ WTNO-LP 22) with No Spanish FMs in the market.

KNOU is technically up in the air and with the debt load it will cost to get it back up and running, I was figuring with Crocodile buying the Cp and ultimately building out WHMM (now KGLA-DT).. that he'd want to take on trying for 104.5 and flip his Am to Spanish talk if he could chat up the SBA and Bank a little sweeter.....

I got an email telling me that the guests on tonight's Errol Laborde Show ("The Thinking Man's Talk Radio') include......drum roll please.....Peggy Scott Laborde. You have to waste 1/2 hour shilling for your wife? Can't wait for this. Truly riveting radio on 690.

A waste of an hour and waste of a signal.
 
He said he was leaving for the last week that he was on while Kaare was losing the Council race. After the election, Eric Asher was on for Kaare Monday and Wednesday, Kaare did his show on Tuesday, and Walt Benetti filled in Thursday and Friday (Walt was also on for Eric this week while Eric was on vacation. Walt did the first 2 hours and Kaare did an extra hour to cover Eric's 3 hour show).

Now Shane's in Texas somewhere. I don't think he's in radio anymore. Mancow is in mornings, Kaare's back in mid-afternoons, and the most interesting local host on 690 IMHO, Walt Benetti, is back on the bench. If someone from 99.5 reads this board, you need to call Walt. The management of 690 doesn't know a good thing when they hear it.
