Wow, really interesting! If you read the article, please pay attention to the section labeled "KDNZ." This section tells of station KDNZ 1250 kHz Cedar Falls IA which broadcasts in a Spanish format with slogan "Radio La Buena" to an audience estimated at 25,000. The station manager describes how the station is both filling a gap in coverage to an underserved audience and a way for advertisers to reach that audience because it "has been largely ignored by other media." This becomes a justification to keep this and similarly programmed stations on the air in the name of diversity. The only thing wrong with this scenario, besides the fact that KDNZ is no longer the call letters (it is now KCFI) is that this station has not been Spanish formatted since at least 2012. Apparently KCFI abandoned its audience of 25,000 to become again a member of that local media crowd that ignores it. Today KCFI has an oldies format, "Cruisin' KCFI", streamed at http://www.kcfiradio.com/listen-live/. 73 Bill Dvorak Madison WI
