Re: [IRCA] 1570 unid

[Brett Saylor <bsaylor@xxxxxxxxx>]

Heard them this morning at 0900 UTC; definitely in Spanish with "power"
slogan and an ad for a club or restaurant in Lawrence. They gave WNNW call
letters in English and the call for their FM translator - this is WCCM's
sister station on 800 AM/102.9 FM in Lawrence, their slogan is "Power 800"
per Wikipedia, format is listed as Spanish Tropical. One of the commercials
had a woman who, to my ears, had a Portuguese accent to her Spanish. On top
of the frequency at this time.
