WTNT Washington Flipping To Spanish AC
RadioInsight ^ | 9/29/13 | Lance Venta

Posted on 09/29/2013 3:04:11 PM PDT by raccoonradio

Metro Radio LLC is pulling the plug on Conservative Talk on 730 WTNT Alexandria VA/Washington DC, 97.7 W249BE Alexandria and 102.9 W275BO Chantilly, VA.

Metro has registered SomosLaCapital.com for the stations and has already updated its webstreams to use the new moniker. The new website describes the new format as “La Capital features a Spanish Hits Music format targeting Hispanics 24-50 years old, local talk shows, music shows, and many other issue shows that address the culture in Washington, DC.”

WTNT currently programs a mix of brokered and syndicated Conservative Talk shows such as Coast To Coast AM, Laura Ingaraham, and Mike O’Meara. The 102.9 translator covers the area south of Washington in Virginia’s Fairfax county. Its 97.7 translator has applied to relocate across the Maryland border to Montgomery County, MD where it will cover Washington and adjacent suburbs such as Rockville and Silver Spring.

In addition to WTNT, Metro Radio also operates Regional Mexican “La Ley” 1460 WKDV Manassas/106.3 W292EC Gainesville, VA.

Bummer. It’s hard to change the presets on my radio because the LCD is broke and I kind of liked that station.

Divide the people by race, language, income . . . you name it.

Keep us at each others throats.

Destroy the civil society.

When those goals are achieved, only government by force can rule.

Going to the WTNT website already brings you the Spanish language music.

I guess all the wealthy bureaucrats and lobbyists need low cost lawn care and the wetbacks need something to listen to.

“Divide the people by race, language, income . . . you name it. Keep us at each others throats. Destroy the civil society.”

The reason why America has prospered is because it was founded on Judeao-Christian principals. ONE nation under GOD, indivisible with liberty and justice for ALL.

MATTHEW 12:25

25 Jesus knew their thoughts and replied, “Any kingdom divided by civil war is doomed. A town or family splintered by feuding will fall apart.

I wish our Christian churches would stand up to islam.

It took violence, the Crusades, and Spanish conquistadors to keep islam out of Europe.

I won't live to see a sharia United States. But if nothing is done, it is a near certainty.

Apparently, they are tired of the advertising revenue that conservative talk radio generates and want to experience poverty.

I wish I was in Tijuana
Eating barbequed iguana
I’d take requests on the telephone
I’m on a wavelength far from home

Perhaps not so good an idea as it seems to them . . . .

Last year, one of our local newstalk stations switched to an all-Spanish format. They dumped Rush, Beck, Rusty Humphries, and a couple of locals.

That lasted just about six months. They are back in news/talk format with Beck and Dave Ramsey, and I don't know who else because I haven't tuned in since the switch.

This is Laura Ingraham’s affiliate in DC.

Given Sean Hannity’s imminent departure from Cumulus (including WMAL), why do I suspect that Clear Channel will soon be starting a talk station in the DC market? Either they could use one of their existing stations or buy one of Red Zebra’s stations, 570 and 980, which also used to be talk stations. (In fact, 570 is where WTNT started.)

You could start a good station with Laura (or Beck), Sean, Steve Deace, and some others. Mega Radio is a Spanish radio company, but they’re going to regret this.
