Why do you ask? They're Spanish--some local, some Radio Formula out of Mexico.
I remember that. I was on KZZP and KMXP overnights and listened to it before shifts. Alan Freed was in Minneapolis when the whole Beat Radio thing started. I had just moved to Phoenix but knew people who listened to the original station.Don't think many will remember this, but there was a small period in the late 90s for 6 months (maybe 98) where they syndicated Beat Radio on 740 for 12 hours a day (5p-5a). It was a Dance pirate out of Indianapolis (I believe) and they were in court fighting to stay on air. The owners of 740am had 9 other affiliates around the country, and they were interested in the story, so they allowed him (Alan Freed) to be on their network until it sold. It was in the process of selling and they needed temporary programming to fill the time. It was a fun short lived era, I learned many great tunes even with the challenged AM signal overnight!
