Has the format changed? Last time I tried to listen it was a cultural music station specializing in Hispanic slash Mexican music.
A long way from the days when my dad worked there right at the beginning of World War II. He was the nighttime DJ and my mom who was a hottie in the day went out with him. She turned out to be a bit of a nutcase but they had 7 kids before he finally gave up. It didn’t turn out as bad as Play Misty for Me but it could have been if he hadn’t gone to the Pacific to help defeat the Japanese empire.
WKRP was a pleasure cruise compared to the chaos and drama that I experienced at KMYC. I'm not sure if it was a soap opera or a sitcom. Actually, it was a little of both.
On the weekends, it inexplicably played Mexican music until Live With Lou started in 2014. Pretty soon, the Saturday lineup was all local talk shows hosted by local people. They had one religious show on Sunday morning and then the rest of the day was Mexican music. Very weird.
What was REALLY weird was the Mexican DJs had two portable CD players that they placed a microphone in front of instead of using the computer. You could hear the DJs cueing up the next song on the CD player that wasn't playing the current song. Horrible quality but the owner didn't really care as long as they paid him for the airtime.
The station owner at the time was a miserly skinflint who refused to update the equipment until Lou threatened to quit (which, looking back, he should have done more often). The station engineer was a Liberal pothead who lived in Chico (about 45 miles away) who hated Lou so he dragged his feet when it came to repairing or replacing equipment.
The station was burned to the ground about 2 years ago and the owner died soon after (or vice versa) I had already flamed out by then and completely cut ties with Lou and the station because of the turmoil so I didn't even hear about the fire or the owner's death until about 6 months later.
Whoever torched the place apparently didn't realize the transmitter was in another building on the property so the station was off the air for a couple of months until the owner's widow sold it to a local businessman who recontinued the national shows operating on automation. But the local shows were all discontinued until about a year ago.
Instead of rebuilding the studio on the same property, the owners of another local radio station (who both started out at KMYC) offered to help the new owner of KMYC move the operation to another building a couple of miles away while updating the transmitters and antennas that had been neglected for years.
The guys who climbed the antennas laughed about some of the patch jobs they saw and couldn't believe someone didn't electrocute themselves let alone how the antennas continued to operate at all.
Anyway, I hope that answers your question. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before the cancel culture catches up to us and forces Lou off the air but we are fighting the good fight until that happens.
