When I was a kid they used to broadcast really high power radio from Mexico and you could tune it in from Los Angeles. Now they broadcast from local AM/FM stations because most country and rock are on satellite or internet so it's cheap. In a way it's funny to think you've got the same thing playing in Georgia now. Advertising still reaches people with those two types of music on the radio, I guess rock and country don't sell pop tarts over AM/FM so they don't broadcast as much anymore.

How's your antenna? And do the FM stations have odd or even numbers in the last position, like 91.1 or 91.2? Odd numbers are what we have in the US. Some car radios FM bands are set for use outside of the US, not all can be changed to the US odd-frequencies.

Seems that way with antenna TV also. No matter how I position my antenna I always get the novellas! Comical if you ask me.. as long as tacos are delicious, I’ll allow it.
