Practice Spanish at 105 MHz
There wasn't a Mexican-oompah-folk music station on my car radio last time I hit button 5, but today, it was all tuba and accordion. Readers in other states are saying, "uh huh, and?" But to Atlanta, it is still a novelty.
Seems 105.3 switched formats overnight to become "El Patron." And it's just .4 MHz from the other Spanish-language FM station, "Viva 105.7, Tan Latina Como Tu!"
Outside of the Clear Channel domain, we have other global radio shows too.
Georgia Tech broadcasts on 91.1, but since its Georgia Tech, everything is available on the internet too. Did you want "Kosher Noise" or simply "French Caribbean Show?" Monday's schedule is full of the kind of worldly stuff Putumayo charges money for.
Left on the dial, GSU broadcasts at 88.5, radio only. Only place to catch Nippon Music Champ. Also featuring a selection of fyah through the schedule.
WRFG 89.3 boasts the strange bedfellows of Bluegrass and Africo-Caribo-pop. They seem to alternate, roughly. Intersperse bluegrass/jazz/blues with "Global Drumbeat", "African Experience Worldwide" and "Diaspora", and that's WRFG. On Saturday especially the DJs do news and interviews, and its like having a friend that knows way more about African news than CNN. ¶ 8:48 PM
