WAFR Tupelo - Saturday Spanish music?

This is kind of a silly question but I was hoping someone could help me with some possible DX! :D

Does the AFR station on 88.3 in Tupelo play Spanish-language music on Saturday afternoons? Normally if I receive anything on 88.3 it is this station, *but* today it's regional Mexican-type music. It sounds like they gave out a toll-free number (I really only heard 0188 as the last digits) and a web address which I could not make out.

Whatever it is, it's quite a mystery. There's a non-comm in Little Rock whose website mentions tejano among other types of music, but I dunno if that's what I'm hearing or not. They don't have a matching telephone number on their website, and the live feeds are down. The only fulltime Spanish language stations on 88.3 that I pulled up with 2000 miles of Grenada is one in Browsville and two in Florida. Two of those are religious in nature and the third (near Miami) appears to be "love song" oriented. None with matching phone numbers... ::)

Memphis and Cleveland are showing up good today, but other than that, the dial is dead...

I love a good mystery. :p
 
Posted too soon methinkst... They're playing Daddy Yankee featuring Fergie now, so I don't think it's WAFR. :p

It's KABF Little Rock - I see they have two websites, one new and one old. The new one has a matching telephone number and "Rumba Revolution" on the main page, so mystery solved.

FWIW, I'm now getting several Little Rock area stations, including KKPT "The Point" on 94.1 and KHKN 106.7...
 
Whatever DX'ing you experienced yesterday is much stronger today as FM stations from south Florida and eastern North Carolina were coming in very well today.
 
Well phooey. :-[ I always seem to miss the best times. I was up all night and fell asleep around 11 am. I actually hooked up the radio again and got a few Monroe FM's, but nothing else special.

It's amazing how little changes can affect FM; this morning I moved my radio about 3 inches while listening to the 99.7 in Jackson and FM 100 started booming in instead. It was cool getting both stations by just moving the antenna, even with a good RDS copy on both. :)
