What's this I Hear?

[Mrtejano]

I'm picking up around the whole city a very spotty 87.7 playing Regional Mexican music. Is this a pirate station?

No its Mega 87.7 Beaumont.

I thought Mega was Christian music. This station is playing lots of Banda

I believe it is the Beaumont station, which goes away this week.

As I understand, it doesn't go away any time soon. The FCC extended their STA to operate as an analog station for an indefinite period.

Thanks for the update, Frank. I'm easily confused by some of these threads these days.

Maybe it's a "well-executed stunt."

I am picking up a station very clear tonight here in Houston in the Heights and in North Side. 87.7 FM LA LEY They have a page on Facebook and a website that says coming soon.

Which was the exact opposite of how the 98-7 translator was birthed. Nothing about that launch was "well executed", at all.

Very interesting. You'd almost think that there was an election coming and the FCC has been told
not to alienate an important voting bloc. Almost.
