BMP cluster goes ENGLISH!

[radiogeeek2006]

Woke up early to listen what the new formats are, 104.9 and 92.5 have gone ESPN. As of 4:30am 98.9 has an annooying ticking sound looped over and over, rumor is NEWS TALK on FM.

I hear the GM Jerry Del Core is the one to blame for all this , this is the reason he got caned from Cheap Channel Atlanta. He screwed up the Atlanta cluster and fired alot of people all because he has penis envy  and wants to play with the the big boys! Google his name and read up on his "Legacy." 

Adios Border Media...

I wonder what happened to the change of KFON 1490.  As of this morning it's still "Juan".  The entire staff of "Juan" was terminated.  When the staff of "La ley" was saying it's final farewells it included everyone from "Juan" and "Digital" as well.  Even the sales staff were either terminated or voluntarily quit for all three formats.

Hmnn....

I had read that Juan would stay.  For the unenlightened who described Juan as Tejano, it's actually an adult variety format ala Jack or Bob but with hits in Español.  Simmons is doing Spanish sports on 1260 so 1490 would give them something to combo with.

Well, what is the future of "Juan" 1490? Maybe it's a priority to get the other two formats off the ground before they deal with "Juan" 1490.

Did you all hear KLBJ AM simulcasting on  99.7?

The possibility of a combo is a good and valid observation. Juan is a computer run, jockless format that BMP's Jose Santos created for several markets and is indeed an adult hits format (that is the Arbitron designation) with songs from the 70's, 80's, 90's and some from the current decade.

It's cost efficient and can combo with ESPN in Spanish (which generates minimal numbers if any) to "bulk up" the buy.

"Juan" is still on because  Jerry "Del Kill radio" couldnt seal the deal with a local christian church to LMA it off to them.

i been reading about different owners may have something in common with each other https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getattachment_exh.cgi?exhibit_id=792016&formid=314&q_num=5040

You would think that a Hispanic targeted format would still be the best option for 1490 as its signal is best in the heavily Hispanic parts of town.
