We know Power is a common name for English language hip-hop stations including:
POWER 99 in Philly
POWER 105.1 in NYC
POWER 106 in LA
POWER 104.1 in Hartford (defunct)
POWER 1320 in Providence (defunct)
There's also The Power 97.5 (1480-AM) in Windsor, Connecticut (north of Hartford) that plays a mix or R&B Hits, R&B Oldies, and Urban Gospel.
But how common is Power a name for Spanish language radio stations?
There was a POWER 1270 in Springfield, Mass from the late 80s or early 90s until 2016 when the current owners changed it to BOMBA 1270 to match their Connecticut sister station. Then BOMBA moved to 1490/104.5 and eventually local programming was replaced by a 100% simulcast of their Connecticut station. 1270 took the Classic Hits format that had been on 1490. They eventually added a translator too.
