What if Lazer Media would buy a Los Angeles Radio Station?

[davideduardo]

I think Lazer Media is a great choice to buy Estrella Media radio stations in the Los Angeles Market

Again, those stations are worth more than all of Lazer's stations combined. At current inflated interest rates and the fact that nearly nobody is financing smaller radio deals, that is not going to happen.

KBUA/KBUA-1/KEBN 94.3 FM would flip to Radio Lazer (a Spanish-language Regional Méxican Music radio station) they could split from the 105.5 FM that would make a lot of sense

KBUE is the core of the current over 3-share that Que Buena gets in the LA market (which is all of LA and Orange Counties). It gets 60% or more of the total listening. If you split them, you get two lower rated stations, one with a 2 share or below and one with a 1 share or less... and they would not get on any agency buys at all.

KRQB 96.1 FM would flip to La Méxicana (a Spanish-language Mariachi and Ranchera Music radio station) they could extend the 96.1 FM coverage to Los Angeles and Orange County that would make a lot of sense

KRQB is not able to move at all. It is a San Jacinto city of license and has no mobility at all. It is a limited Inland Empire market station. It-can-not-improve-coverage-at-all.

The format you describe reaches people over 50. There are no dollars for such a format in that market

KBUE 105.5 FM would flip to La Mejor (a Spanish-language Adult Hits from the 50's to today's music radio station) they would split up from the 94.3 FM they would have to borrow the KRDC/K256CX signal to 105.5 FM to reach the entire Los Angeles and Orange County that would make a lot of sense

That format, despite getting great shares back when Recuerdo was often the #3 Spanish language operation in the market, leans older and does not get on all the buys. If you further split that audience, nobody gets on the buys.

KWIZ 96.7 FM is been sold by Universal Church they flipped to Vision Latina Radio (a Spanish-language religious radio station)

That is because that format (older ranchera music) and a single small signal could not make money. You are suggesting splitting a trimulcast into two partial coverage operations which will cost more and bill a lot, lot less.

You understand what I'm talking about that's my suggestions

None of them are practical or make any sense at all.

This is rather peculiarly interesting, as I have never seen what I perceive to be so many inaccurate or merely wild suggestions or recommendations in one single thread.

I don’t know, the formulaic responses and posts make me think Luis is some form of AI or computer. It just doesn’t seem like a human being would be generating such outlandish scenarios with the formulaic responses I am seeing. I think ChatGPT has infiltrated the discussion boards! 🤖

As I think someone posted here, Luis is human, and is (apparently) learning disabled. He found us after being blocked from several Facebook radio groups.

That means a more delicate approach may be needed to explain to him the rules and accepted posting norms, but they should still be imposed as usual. Making exceptions based on his condition neither helps him or the board.

KMZT is an AM. You don't use an AM to play music for an 18-34 year old target audience. The FM is a translator that protects Univision's full Class A station on 98.3 in the market. The translator only covers a small portion of the San Fernando Valley and is highly directional.

There is a construction permit for K252FO 98.3, to cover almost all the SFV. Both the existing tower and the cp seem to be from the Odyssey Restaurant in Mission Hills, at 250 watts. New antenna system?

Previously the tower was in the mountains north of Malibu, highly directional to the west valley.

Not that it changes your main point at all.

What if Jerry's Deli bought Odyssey restaurant, and changed it from a steakhouse to a deli?

In the meantime, I've exhausted my tiny knowledge of Spanish language radio in LA and I'm just going to close the thread if the "subject" posts any further unlikely, improbable and absurd suggestions about the subject.

No delicate approach for me. I have zero tolerance. Block him.
