Not bad (IMHO) for a 1kw from Lawrence - could prove interesting locally.  Lets see how "local" they become.  Plans from what I hear include a full staff based somewhere in Lawrence.

Sounding pretty good in Lowell last night.

Smooth presentation, good imaging. They're branding themselfs as "Mega"

They're branding themselfs as "Mega"

Mega Communications is the name of the company that owned WLLH and WAMG years ago. In fact, the WAMG calls stood for Mega; WMGA was in use back then, so they applied for (and got) calls that used the same letters in a different order. Could be that whoever is getting ready to put WLLH back on the air is using tapes that just happened to be around. Of course, stations that call themselves La Mega but have no connection with Mega Communications do exist.

Perhaps this will clear things up:

Gois Broadcasting announces it has entered into
agreement to purchase new radio station

Effective immediately

(Worcester, MA, November 4, 2009) Gois Broadcasting, LLC is thrilled to announce it has entered into an agreement to purchase WLLH 1400.  Gois Broadcasting will broadcast a variety of Latino music on the station.  WLLH serves the Lowell and Lawrence, MA radio markets with 1000 watts 24 hours per day.  WLLH is broadcasting full time as of now.

Gois Broadcasting, LLC has been serving the Latino communities in several radio markets since 1982.  It currently owns WORC 1310 which serves the Latino community in Central Massachusetts, WLAT 910 and WNEZ 1230 which serve the Latino community in the Hartford, CT and WKND 1480 which serves the African American community in Hartford, CT.

“We are thrilled with the opportunity to serve the Latino community in Lowell, Lawrence and surrounding areas.  We have a long history of running a business while serving the Latino community and we’re very excited to continue that tradition in a new market.  We have many exciting plans for the station and will make a series of announcements on the air very soon” says Ivon Gois, President of Gois Broadcasting.

That's good. The station is in very good hands. If the station has any technical issues GOIS will fix them. Before GOIS got ahold of WKND 1480 in Windsor, Connecticut the station was a technical nightmare. Their 500 watt daytime signal didn't go out as far as it should. And the station suffered from frequencey drift and would be broadcasting on 1482 or 1483 rather than 1480. Plus they didn't use the flea-power at night. Now the station sounds great. Their 500 watt daytime signal goes out much further than it has in a long time. No more frequcency drift. And they make use of their night signal now.

What's the word on 890 WAMG?
