[IRCA] Question about 1700 KVNS

[midcapemarc@xxxxxxxxxxx (Marc DeLorenzo)]

Interesting.  Rather than a format change, I wonder if this is an example of  "ethnic brokered" programming.  Perhaps KVNS sells "middle of the night" air time to a Mexican-American group.  I'm just guessing.  Hopefully someone in (or near) South Texas can provide a definite answer.
