EMF is coming back to the VT area like Elvis Presley

And in American Samoa and, bizarrely, Puerto Rico, too.
Puerto Rico is indeed bizarre. No Spanish-language feed, same music as everyone else hears? Geez, why bother?
Yep, Royalton was carrying The Point's AAA programming from Montpelier. EMF's acquisition removes that station from the Hanover/Lebanon/White River Junction market and leaves Great Eastern Radio's WWOD (The River 93.9) alone in the format.
Yes, same format.
There is a common assumption that all Puerto Ricans have good English. It is false
While most private and Catholic schools teach English, public schools have not required it since the 60's except as a course, like math or science. The private schools often teach about half the curriculum in English. Those schools are much more expensive, and tend to be mostly high middle and upper income supported.
So the vast majority know "a little" English, most are not bilingual and even fewer are multi-cultural. People who visit the Island see the tourist areas. There, English is common and well spoken. Elsewhere, not so much. In the decades that I lived there, I could go weeks and maybe months without hearing anyone speaking English... unless it was to call a supplier or client on the mainland.
And there are several Spanish language Christian music stations... one in particular can be in the Island-wide top 10 often. And PR has 131 AM and FM stations, not including translators.
Where is THAT an assumption?
What’s next? Guam?
KLove operates a station in American Samoa.
Only 3,600 miles from Guam! Close!
It's made by every tourist that visits the Island. While those in the tourism industry generally speak good English, perhaps as much as 80% of the population that is under 55 to 60 knows only very basic English if any.
It's also an assumption by many mainlanders who have met Puerto Ricans in job-related capacities, as the private schools in PR have nearly all half-English, half-Spanish curriculums. Those who go to those schools tend to work in business and professions and many go to college on the mainland.
And, unless they are Newyoricans, folks in PR don't speak English among themselves.
this is the station Klove is leasing.. its fed by a high quality stream, as they cant get a satellite feed there and it actually has a studio.. minimal but it has one due to the fact they need robust internet and thats at the office location where the studio is
