I guess
I can see your point. Still, calling a format “Mexican”
is highly inaccurate, as the kind of music on WAFC is popular in many
countries.
Similarly, the stations in Miami
are not all directed at “Cubans” and, except for a couple of the AM
talkers, would not be properly referred to as “Cuban” formats.
Personally,
I find calling the WAFC format “Mexican” to be a tad on the
politically incorrect side. Of course, I don’t think there is a “Cuban”
format, either.
It's pretty
obvious when you listen to WAFC Clewiston, as compared to the Cubans
and
domestics programming for Cubans. Those of us in Florida often make the distinction
between
Cuban origin, Cuban directed and other Spanish language formats. Might
not be so obvious to someone in California.

I have no idea what a specific “Mexican” format would be,
though… since there are so many of them, ranging from Spanish rock to
oldies. I’ve never heard of an “American” format, either (g) .

I would guess than
an XE format is Mexican; a reference to the XE-- Mexican calls.
