That station has more to worry about than going HD. In 14 months as a
Spanish talker aimed at LA (where they have no useful signal at all) it
has
had no ratings in LA, SD or Tijuana.


When I was in TIjuana, I was always opting for Radio Z-13 (XEAZ 1270
AM) or Radio Enciso (XEC 1310 AM).


Tijuana is one of the few places where you can hear a lot of "Tribuna" or
listener participation. Most of the talk in Mexico consists of
commentatators or round tables with discussions; the listeners apparently
are not considered to have valuable opinion.s

Both were very news-intensive talk stations. I know Radio Z-13 has
now affiliated with the Radio Capital network so I don't know how
their local programming has fared.


That sounds like they will take the kind of programming I just described.

Another good one if you're into talk radio is Radio Formula (XEKAM 950
AM) with a good mix of local and national shows.


Well done station, overall. Rogerio Azcárrage is a very successful operator,
too.

And I gotta admit that XEMO La Poderosa 860 played some good
rolas.


Yet in San Diego, it dropped out of the ratings a few years ago after many
years of being either #1 in Spanish there or very competitive.

And no, I don't know what the ratings for these stations, but I assume
most of them lean towards older listeners anyway.


Being AM in a very young country, that is what the INRA numbers show.
