Re: [IRCA] [ABDX] WEW-770'S format

["Paul B. Walker, Jr." <walkerbroadcasting@xxxxxxxxx>]

Birach (pronounced Beer-ahsh) isn't the one involved in border
boradcasting.. thats other companies.

Birach's stations are all pay for play mostly, brokered time.. meaning the
peopel you hear on the air have paid for the time.

They have stations that are largely spanish, some that are of some form of
Indian programming. .some that do middle eastern.. some do american
language stuff even.


WEW 770 has been owned by Birach since 2003 or so and has more or less been
doing the same thing for years.
