[IRCA] Interesting Things at Mexico's Radio Centro???
I gotta wonder what is going on down at Radio Grupo Centro in Ciudad Mexico.
I did TOH recordings overnight in the semi-null of semi-local
690-KGGF in Coffeeville, KS and tracked two Mexican stations and
another US station at almost every TOH. KGGF went off at our local
midnight (0500) and reappeared at local 5:00AM (1000 UT). I never
did ID the other US station or the second Mexican. However, the
slightly more dominant Mexican was XEN, Ciudad Mexico. What threw me
for quite a while in the deep overnight is that they were
running XERED-1110 programming... their sister Radio Grupo Centro
flamethrower on 1110 in Mexico City. On 690, there were numerous
"Radio Red, La Red" IDs at TOH times. I just don't understand paying
the electric bill to run TWO flamethrowers in the same market with
the same programming. However, at 1100, there was a classic Mexican
National Anthem followed by slowly and clearly enunciated "X-E-N,
Cuidad Mexico" and the frequency and power followed by "Grupo Radio
Centro." I was hurrying to another sign-on and I did not catch
whether XEN then started their "La 69" programming or continued to
simulcast XERED. Verrrry interesting.
I wonder what about a megawatt of electricity each night costs????
