Talk Radio 1395AM is now transmitting a voicemirror (with music) announcing
that Business News 1395 will start next monday. They announce transmissions
between 0600 and 2000 hours local time with blocks of 20 minutes with
financial and business news and also 20 minutes blocks with
news,sports,traffic and weather.
I agree with Michiel that this will be a short-lived station. I wonder if
business people have the time to listen to it. And the other listeners?
They prefer music, I think.
