And people wonder why the mainstream print media continue to lose market share.
I have to give Barry Young at KFYI a hat-tip for pointing out this piece on his show this morning.
Man, where do I start?
I listened to KNUV when it was still KMYL, first adult standards (didn't last), then rock oldies (nope), then a mixture of third-rate syndicated talk and local folks (don't tell me you thought that succeeded--otherwise they never would have gone Spanish). Their signal is poor, being on the AM dial is problematic to begin with, and having 45 (count them--45!) reporters means this station was probably bleeding red ink from the start.
But hey, why be the victim of a poor business plan when you can blame Sheriff Joe? And the white people? (How do you blame Arpaio for the failure of the sister station in Denver?)
And don't fall for this nonsense of the migrant worker community losing their "voice." Radio Campesina existed in Phoenix well before KNUV was ever birthed.
Just another example of how newspapers continue to forget their readership both has, and uses, their brains.
And as an aside (how's that for alliteration), who wants to place bets that 1190 goes totally brokered when and if they return to the air?
