Navidad 1280??
- Thread starter Lite107
- Start date
There's a local host on WADO for Navidad 1280! His name is Max Perez Jimenez. He went on air right after Buenos Dias America wrapped up. At 10:01, legal ID played and there's no mention of LMN at all. Univision seems to still be in control.
"The Hispanic voice of The Mets."
In the sale agreement, the transfer of WADO was contingent on environmental study at the transmitter site. Don't know the status of that.
Visited the site on Paterson Plank Road a month ago, it's pretty much the same.
No mention of LMN in the legal ID as of 12P today, and it's running TUDN Radio.
There apparently has been no actual transfer of WADO from Univision to LMN.
This past November, counsel for Univision Radio Stations Group asked the Commission to dismiss the assignment application to LMN. The Univision Group's stations had all been assigned late in 2022, but Univision's counsel in February indicated to the Commission that there was a wrinkle with WADO, and the consummation of WADO was reversed by the FCC at Univision's request. Then came requests from LMN's counsel for a first, then a second 90-day extension of the consummation. Mention was made of needing to get a lease for the tower site from NJDEP.
The back-and-forth about WADO is part of the KTNQ assignment file, as that was the lead station in the initial filing.

I had no idea NJDEP owned the WADO site? WKDM also used to be nearby.
Used to? They moved? The old KDM Caliente 1380 is still up, and the Radio Unica (Trailer? RV?) is still hidden behind the trees there.
All very interesting information. My recollection of the original contract provided for the possibility of this station being removed, and a requisite amount of cash to be refunded to LMN. Certainly no shortage of AM stations available now in NYC, most notably WLIB from Emmis.
