Wow...this transaction puts most of the radio stations licensed to Baldwin County under one company's ownership. I wonder what Gulf Coast ultimately has in store for it's newest purchases.

I'm particularly interested if they'll keep the news & sports talk format that 105.9/1000/1110 simulcasted...or specialized formats for each? I think Baldwin could support its own news/talker, but they'd have to do so without the bigger talk radio names.

WHEP 1310 - Foley does a news/talk.
Maybe they could take that Spanish show off WCSN and make it the format of 1000 or 1110. It sure would be sweet if they took 105.9 and one of the AM's back to the Americana format they tried a few years back.

Well, the hosts for the Spanish music/talk show expressed a desire to have their own radio channel someday on a TV news interview. If Gulf Coast went this route, I'd vote for 1110, as it can be heard in Mobile pretty fairly during the daytime.

Could Mexican Radio be in Mobile's future?

WNSI-AM and WBCA don't reach Pensacola but I though they had similar signals in Mobile. When WNSI-AM was playing classic country I could pick it up everywhere I went in Mobile, but with 10,000 watts WBCA should be stronger there.
Do you have any idea how many Mexican's are in the Mobile area? Are there enough to support a station? Do any Mobile stations have spanish programing?

I've never noticed many Mexican's in Pensacola but I know that several radio stations have been programing to them for a while. WRNE 980 has been doing a spanish music show for 10 years or so and at least one of the non-comm christian FMs frequently does spanish shows. WCSN has a decent signal in Pensacola for their spanish show, but I don't think WCSN reaches Mobile at all.

I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
and the touch of a world that is older
I turn the switch and check the number
I leave it on when in bed I slumber
I hear the rhythms of the music
I buy the product and never use it
I hear the talking of the dj
Can't understand, just what does he say?

I'm on a Mexican radio
I'm on a Mexican - whoah - radio
I'm on a Mexican radio
I'm on a Mexican - whoah - radio

I dial it in and tune the station
They talk about the U.S. inflation
I understand just a little
No comprende, it's a riddle

I'm on a Mexican radio
I'm on a Mexican - whoah - radio
I'm on a Mexican radio
I'm on a Mexican - whoah - radio

I wish I was in Tiajuana
Eating barbecued iguana
I'd take requests on the telephone
I'm on a wavelength far from home
I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
I dial it in from south of the border I hear the talking of the dj
Can't understand, just what does he say?

I'm on a Mexican radio
I'm on a Mexican - whoah - radio
I'm on a Mexican radio
I'm on a Mexican - whoah - radio

Radio, radio,
Radio, radio...
(what does he say?)
