WUBR

The station was sold. The prior owner "Red Peach" sold it to "Power 102.1 FM". Freddy and Ana Cruz are the new owners.
 
I’ve been hearing this station occasionally at night/early morning lately in San Antonio and trying to ID it. I finally heard a weak WUBR ID and Baton Rouge reference this morning. Is the new branding “Mega,” “Buena,” or something like that? The signal is too weak and muddy for me to hear it clearly.
 
Any word on WUBR's status? Is it still broadcasting in Spanish?

CBS Sports Radio still shows WUBR as an affiliate.

The Houston Astros Radio Network still shows WUBR as an affiliate.

The FCC doesn't care a licensee's state filing status. As long as they follow the FCC rules and pay their fees, that's all the FCC cares about

Elaborating a little bit, filing status doesn't mean much for most businesses. If it's an LLC, it's probably taxed as a sole-prop or partnership anyway. When the charter is administratively dissolved, the business just goes back to being a sole-prop or partnership. It's entirely possible that the operator(s) of the station wanted that for some reason and just didn't file the report to go ahead and move in that direction. They might eventually need to file a form 316 with the FCC if that's the case, though. The main benefit being an LLC provides is that it can be taxed flexibly (as a sole-prop/partnership or as a corporation) from year-to-year.

I will say, however, that most states don't require LLC's to file annual reports. Corporations have to do that, but LLC's are almost perpetual in most states.
 
Its still Spanish. Nothing has changed. No sports. Also has a FM Tranny. Think its 102.1.

In Texas, LLCs are required to file annual franchise tax reports. If they miss several in a row, that can lead to deactivation of the LLC. Trying to get caught up, cost $75/yr fee and filing of all IRS paperwork for the missing years....
Ask me how I know 😌
