During my trip down there this morning, I discovered that 93.1 was playing Spanish music. When did they change and is this the first full-time FM Spanish station in Mississippi?

I forgot about 96.1 Tunica. I guess since they primarily served Memphis, I didn't think to include them. WAVN is on AM.
I was down in the Hub City yesterday and 93.1 was playing gospel and I picked up their signal today and they were playing light jazz. I'm guessing the Spanish format was short-lived or is on a certain times.
Isn't 96.1 in Tunica "The Pig" now? Por favor?

Look at it this way...there will be better looking women in Hattiesburg now.
WIIN in Ridgeland (780) was full-time Spanish over four years ago. I remember because it was when the International Ballet Competition was here. We played it in the vehicles whenever there was a Spanish-speaking contestant riding. They said that this was a network that also had an affiliate in Miami (or originated from Miami).
Lasted only a year on 780. BTW, does 1240 still have Spanish programming on in the afternoons?

I wonder how a reggaeton format would work out in Hattiesburg? Maybe on 98.1, perhaps?

When 98.1 was a rhythmic CHR several years ago, perhaps it could've been tried as some sort of specialty programming. I'm not sure if reggaeton would work outside of big cities like Los Angeles. It would require a large Hispanic population to work.

There are no reggaetón formats anywhere in the continental US any longer... it certainly woud not work in a smaller market.

Wasn't there one in Los Angeles? I think it was 96.3.
