Now, here I agree with Jeremy. Clear Channel is far too enamored with the concept of 'serving the Latino audience' despite the fact that this audience is already well served. And, yes, 95.5 has been sneaking into 103.5's musical territory.
What's sad is that we won't have the benefit of true capitalism if/when el Patron shows up on 93.9. Because SBS owns 107.9, that's not changing to Ingles. And, Univision owns 93.5/103.1 and 106.7 - all of which are low rated. Yet, despite having few listeners, none will flip to English because of who owns them. In a normal marketplace, losers like this (especially Univision's signals) end up trying something else. Unfortunately, that's unlikely in this case.
To paraphrase a controversial statement: "I hope Clear Channel fails".
: Clear Channel would be on CRACK if they think anybody listening to WLIT would flip over to 103.5
