Google Bustos Media.... they have satellite formats.
 
Well, Bustos Media has 4 satellite driven formats running.
2 Regional Mexican (both have different age target groups)
Spanish Adult Hits (Something like Recuerdo and La Preciosa but a bit different)
Spanish Contemporary (like KQQK in Houston and Concierto 101.7 in Dallas)

One of them (most popular) is La GranD, a regional Mexican feed. Here is the stream for it. http://asx.abacast.com/bustosmedia-grand-48.asx

Their webpage is http://www.bustosmedia.com/

They have streams for each of their stations. the problem is that i can't find them anymore.

First, you'll need to acquire an FM, as todays hispanics are abandoning the AM dial faster than the gringos. A sure fire money making format for your AMer is either "Religious" or "24 Hour Infomercials", both of which companies or churchs pay you to air their programming. I wouldn't try Spanish on a AM today. ;D

Speaking of the Bustos satellite formats, what do you think of them? La Gran D seems to play like 90% from 2007 in their play list.....(Of course I may be exaggerating)...Any thoughts on it. And what is really the difference from their Ke Buena and La Gran D? I guess if you were just starting a station and needed sometype of talent and were in a smaller market either format could work, and then put a local AM show to create the local flavor of the programming.....

Bustos sucks, don't even try it, bustos ratings are going down on every market.

I hear they don't handle good competition well.

They do pretty well in the markets they are in, like Boise and SLC. The formats are intended to be cost-efficient for that sort of market... only in Sacramento, where KRCX carries Piolin en la Mañana do they lose to a competitor badly. Otherwise, they have a pretty good solution for underserved markets.

Don't forget Modesto/Stockton where KMIX-100.9 carries Piolin.

Actually in SLC they have two FMS and the competitor has an AM and in the case of Boise, they are getting beat there.

The Bustos station has won nearly all the books since it went on; Boise has no HDHA zones, so the sample wobbles all over the place.
