[Swprograms] Mexican SW directed at Immigrants/Illegals?

["William Martin" <wgmartin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All this recent brou-ha-ha about illegal immigrants and the
fussing over it between the US and Mexican governments
has made me wonder -- has there been *any* movement within
Mexico to try to establish some sort of external radio service
directed at the Spanish-speaking immigrants all across the US?
I realize that most urban areas with a sufficient number of
such people have some local AM or FM Spanish stations, or
Spanish-language hours part-time on some broadcasters,
but there appears to be a vast unserved number of these
individuals in sparser-populated areas or in smaller communities.
I would think that Vincente Fox and other members of his
government would want to communicate with them. Perhaps
they could distribute some sort of recorded programming to
the existing Spanish-language radio stations here, but it sure
seems like an obvious use for SW. Considering the cheap
radios I mentioned in my recent posting, it seems like a
sensible method for some type of "Voices From Home" .
I haven't heard of anything like that, and I was wondering
if they've even discussed it in the Mexican-national press.

I'd love to be able to hear a good strong SW signal from Mexico;
I'd guess they'd have a lot of music interspersed with whatever
message they'd want to deliver to their expatriates.

Wondering, Will
