Lucy Gives Way To Latino 93.3 In Austin - RadioInsight
Waterloo Media has flipped Hot AC “Lucy 93.3” KGSR Cedar Park/Austin TX to Spanish CHR “Latino 93.3“. The move resurrects the brand that had been heard on the company’s 102.7 K274AX Austin until May 2021. Waterloo would also briefly bring the format back to that frequency from January through...

Not to be pessimistic, but if Latino/Mega didn't even work well enough to keep it on a translator on two separate occasions how is it going to pay its own way on a full signal?
Also, why bring back the Hot AC format on Lucy for a week after the 4th of July dance special?
Finally with all the formats that have blown through this frequency in the last number of years, what are the odds we are back here in a year talking about it again?
I do think there is enough demand for this format at least on a translator here if done correctly, especially combined with another spanish-language station for sales purposes, but I am skeptical this will last...
Here's my Waterloo plan:
- Don't build a new AM site for 590 at the Domain
- Rebrand 93.7 to not include "KLBJ"
- Give 93.3 a permanent format with NewsTalk KLBJ (perhaps from the Bertram site)
- Repurpose the very good 99.7 translator with a format like Latino/Mega
