Speak Spanish On Tejano Radio!

AG
Dear Bidal,
This message is to find out if any of your readers feel the way I feel about Chicano or Tejano radio stations here in Lubbock. I write in English because it may be that more readers will read this than if it were written in Spanish -- which is very sad. It is very annoying that it seems that 98% of what is spoken on Tejano radio is in English - even the commercials. Sure, the radio stations will say that they are bilingual radio, but, when the use of Spanish is very limited on these stations it contradicts the statement. Bilingual means using both languages equally, as far as I am concerned. ¿Qué pasó con nuestro idioma, hombre??!!! Are classes in high school and the universities the only place that Spanish can be heard now? Todo esto está triste. And then, the
radio stations bombard the public with the same songs over and over and over and over. Their special promotions are like some sort of brain washing, to control our minds. The last assault was the end of summer something or other at Buffalo Lakes. I swear, I never want to hear another Diva song again. They played these songs at least 25,000 times in six weeks.
¿Qué creen? ¿Qué estamos pend__os? Radio stations like Magic should be reminded that one of their purposes is the public good. There is nothing good about brain washing. To the Power's credit they have never attempted these kinds of silly shenanigans, and I applaud 106. Pos orale. Ay te watcho.
Oh no, let’s get ready for “El 16 de septiembre” -- ¡más lavados!
