What is Real Radio returned?

Title is supposed to read, "What If Real Radio Returned?"

So.... I came up with an idea when I stumbled upon this on FormatChange: http://formatchange.com/wmax-becomes-real-radio-105-3/#.TzmNKJif_wx

This was when WMAX was turned into Hot Talk as "Real Radio", do you think it could return to ATL radio on 96.1 or WWVA?

It would be nice if Real Radio did return to the airwaves. The chances of it happening are very unlikely. When Clear Channel first launched El Patron as a Regional Mexican station, El Patron AKA "The Pattern" in English was named after a Mexican restaurant in downtown Bowdon. The restaurant being known as the El Patron Mexican Restaurant. Of course, the city of Bowdon is the city of license for El Patron 105.3 WBZY-FM, but the site of the transmitter is just northwest of Newnan.
 
According to Google Translate, "EL PATRÓN MANDA EN ATLANTA!" in Spanish means "SEND THE PATTERN IN ATLANTA!" in English. That is all.
 
I am not fluent in Spanish but....

I grew up about 20 miles from the Mexican border on a cotton farm. As a kid, my Dad would put me in the field with a little book to record the amount of cotton picked by the laborers who had come over from Mexico to work. The workers were paid "by the pound" when picking cotton. (Yeah, I'm an old guy. There were no machines to pick cotton then.)

PATRON was is what they called my father. And their name for me was "El Chico Patron".

The phrase you are trying to translate might come nearer to saying: "Boss Radio is sending it your way, Atlanta."
