That's just what we need in D/FW - another freaking hispanic station.

You're dang right that sounded racist.

At this rate, in five years English-language stations (particularly music) in DFW will be relegated to FM fringe signals or, worse yet, just the AM band.  Thank goodness for satellite radio... at least you can still hear English-language programming there.

This is why I dont listen to "terrestrial" radio myself. If im called a bigot because I think they're should be more choice than "ranchera" and "Romantica",then label me one (and we all know dave eduardo will). Wheres the asian and black communities in this argurment, as their not being properly represented as well??

Radioaircheck: So who do you think will be the next one to change formats in DFW?

It is a reflection of the rapidly growing Hispanic population in the DFW area and the growing popularity of many of the stations that service that population.

7-11 stores check their inventory nearly every night to see what their customers want. If the customers aren't buying an item, or a similar item sells better, the store changes.

Radio is no different because, first and foremost, it is a business.

And remember, early on, many on this board, predicted that Sunny would not survive.

Sadly for many of its employees, that prediction has proved accurate.
