I think KRIK-FM is back on the air?

I just barely heard it for a minute or two through the static here. From what I heard it's just country music playing with a few seconds between songs. No imaging in the break I heard, but they might have some.
Anyone around the Victoria area who's listening to them? I did find their Facebook page but that's it. http://www.facebook.com/1005TheRanch

It's on the air.  I heard them also playing Nell's Over and over again when I tuned over to them.

But that's not country! LOL.

Maybe they mistook it for country since it's got Tim McGraw in it.

In case anyone missed it KRIK flipped to Spanish and has apparently been playing Spanish since December...




Though I never heard it until I tuned in last week and was able to receive it with a rather cheap portable MP3 player. I've recorded about a 40 minute aircheck so you all can hear the strangeness that is this radio station.

Just a huge variety of Spanish music (some regional Mexican, some Spanish pop-rock from the sound of it, some dance style tejano I believe, and I even heard Selena Gomez near the beginning) What's the latter doing on a Spanish station!?! Most songs are tagged with the title and artist in Spanish at the beginning.

The imaging I've heard seems to have been produced in a bit of a hurry though it's decent. They're calling it The Ranch still as well as El Rancho (Spanish translation I believe). It has two names if you count each translation as one.
Liner backing music for the imaging's country for the English ones, Tejano and regional Mexican for the Spanish ones.

They do seem to run ads though the only one I heard played twice and was for a tire shop / burger depot / trailer and car lot. Funny but cute at the same time, you'll understand if you listen.

Audio is nice and clean, uncompressed from the sound of it. No crossfading I can tell between songs, it's as if they're using Winamp or Windows Media Player with no plug-ins.

But enough describing. Here. I had to remove a few seconds on two occasions in which the antenna got unplugged, sorry.

Yeah with tropo as bad as its been the last few days its pretty easy to pull in distant stations. I've even picked up a few class A's from as far as 2 hours away from me.

How far away can KRIK be heard when the tropo is not in?

 Can KRIK be heard very well in Victoria for instance?

I actually like it, especially now that I have a good receiver to filter out all the interference from other radio stations than the one I'm trying to pull in. Gives me a lot more variety on the dial LOL.

The signal comes in like a local in Victoria. I haven't tried it in Cuero.

That's a bit overstated. Very listenable signal in Victoria, but not a local. It has to afford protection to KBAR-Victoria, so KRIK is more like a good Victoria rimshot.

I've never had any problems listening in my car. There is little to no static on Navarro or where US 59 meets the city limits.
