Máximi is actually Spanish language rhythmic. There are no successful tropical stations on the US mainland. It's an 18-44 format, so not so good for an AM but if there is nothing else, most people opt for a streaming service.

Urban Contemporary to compete with WZBR, WKAF, WJMN and WODS and compliment WBQT's classic hip hop/rhythmic CHR hybrid with a current-oriented hip hop/R&B/dancehall playlist.

For a name, I'd consider 106-1 HUB FM The People's Station
Looking at the playlist, I agree Maxima is rhythmic like KLOL/Houston. But I'd thought WSKQ/New York and WXDJ/Miami were considered tropical?
They have some tropical songs, but for the most part are rhythmic. Not much salsa or merengue, lots of reggaetón blends, bachata and rhythmic material of the Gente de Zona and Maluma style.
Closest real tropical stations are Salsoul and Zeta in Puerto Rico
There is an AM station on the Philadelphia thread that they were talking about playing Smooth Jazz, and rebroadcast on HD2. Would it be a viable option here?
What else could they put on WRCA, and rebroadcast on 106.1? I know that it might not work, but what can they put on this station? I know that it sounds ridiculous but they're doing it in Philly.
Just a hopeful thought.

98.5 is already called The Hub. 98.5 The Sports Hub.
Yes! 1480AM in Philly is Smooth Jazz...and sounds great! Of course they are also on 106.1 HD2.
I'm not sure how you would compare the limited signal of Beasleys Translator on 106.1 in Boston with the limited reach of an HD in Pilly at 106.1 (Looks like the Philly station (analog) is a full signal.)
Let's not forget that Philly is a heavy black market.
