Good point. The existence of K226AE 93.1 eliminated the need for KWUP to operate NGEN on HD2. Time will tell if Hope Media Group keeps the network of translators. I wager that, at the very least, 93.1 in CS will eventually disappear -- it's located in a demographically inefficient area.

Vida Unida to replace NGEN radio on 91.7FM

Well, I'm not telling you to accept it.
If you'd take a day to listen to the content of 104.5, you would know why it is that I am making this comparison.
104.5 has nothing to do with a Christian radio station. The owners might be Christian but has nothing to do with business.
You still make no sense Guevara has nothing to do with 104.5 programming
They own it. They allow un-christian content to air just to make a buck.
What's so hard to understand about this?
It’s a business owned by a church . What don’t you get
-One small station doesn't represent all radio.
-Radio (self-proclaimed Christian Radio or not) does not represent churches or "The Church" as a whole.
You made a statement likening churches to strip clubs in their marketing strategies. That is what I am dismissing. I've been involved in church of some type for nearly all of my life, most of which was my own choosing. I have multiple relatives who have gone to seminary. I'm very familiar with things like denominational differences, church polity, theology distinctives, church history etc. etc.
I have never seen or heard of the kind of downmarket pivots by a church you described in your original comparison. Ever.
It doesn't mean that is has never ever happened in all of history, after all I am not omniscient, but it certainly isn't something even remotely common or widespread or accepted.
A business owned by a business masquerading as a church in which the content goes against their religious teaching.
Why is this so hard to understand?
It sure does represent the majority of the Frankenstein translator operators we have in this town and all over the state.
See above
What's so wrong about it?
Hope Media is coming after the Spanish speaking Christian community. With how sleazy these current Frankenstein translator operators are, don't be surprised to see them pivot their sales pitch or the product they're selling in order to survive.
Strip clubs are no different. They'll change their promotions and gimmick offerings when a new and shinier establishment opens up on the other side of town.
A business is a business.
Well, it's right front and center in the shady translator world.
It seems that sleezy religious leaders are a dime a dozen inside the underbelly of Christianity. This is why almost every major city in our region seems to have questionable religious broadcasters doing the opposite of "Christianity". But I suppose it shouldn't come as a surprise to see the same type of people who prey on the financially and spirituality illiterate run these stations.
Get off the Pipe. The term Frankenstein does not apply here.
Tony was on the air at on of Puerto Rico's most important non-San Juan stations, Cosmos, before he went to the mainland.
The KAMA mistake was not due to the announcer being Puerto Rican... it was not a good show on a station that was not very good at the time.

Fonsi was always a pop artist, who did both ballads and up-tempo pop. Ricky Martin was one of the Menudo kids, and he started doing very up tempo pop songs, not ballads. Later, he did both ballads and pop, but had his biggest hits with things like Livin' la Vida Loca which pioneered a new pop sound well before reggaetón went international
By making a translator actually have an originating station or take them off the air.
I know, that’s who I’m talking about too. Guevara is a business man. And sometimes you have to do what ever it takes to make a business successful.
So let me understand you a little, so if a church would happen to own a grocery store? They shouldn’t sell beer, alcohol, cigarettes? Because it goes away from their religious teachings? Come on sir it is just a business. In that case what would you say about those singers that go to church preach in church end go to bars nightclubs and Saenz secular music because it is your job?
Bonneville International is a business owned by the Mormon Church.
Try buying spots for a strip club on a Bonneville station and let me know how far you get. I know 30 years ago they would reject beer ads in Phoenix, but that may have changed when they got the broadcast rights to the Cardinals. But if you're selling something that isn't family friendly, they will tell you to take your business elsewhere and not feel a pinch of regret.
Is this really necessary? Who took the jam out of your donut?
It absolutely does. The majority of translators licensed in our market are either broadcasting illegally or have broadcasted illegally at one point in time. They're out of bounds.
