    92.9 Spanish - KROM San Antonio or something from Mexico?

    I heard Spanish on 92.9 via Es on three days this summer. In all cases my prime suspect is KROM, but its stream is not available in Canada. I did have TX in these openings. But I hate to ditch these recordings without double checking here.

    All clips have the date DYMOYR and TIME (EDT).

    First up is June 28 (28JN23). Just one clip, at 2330, and it's brief. Anything IDable?

    Next is July 15. Four clips. Three seem to have sports talk (1051, 1055, 1057, 1107), mentioning a range of US cities but also seeming to possibly mention Mexico. There is a sports station: XHERG in Ojo de Agua which is 100000 watts and, although long 1Es or possible 2Es, in roughly the same trajectory line as San Antonio. I do not hear Deportiva IDs for that one, or Que Buena for KROM. The 1057 clip has an ad at the end. The 1107 clip also has an ad, maybe the same one from the end of clip 1057. The 1107 also actually mentions San Antonio, but the entire series of clips for this date also mentions other cities. I am also hearing KVRE AR, and AR sometimes presents as a midway point when I've had 2Es to Mexico in the past.

    Finally, three clips from July 30. Clip times are 0852, 0858, 0859, 0904. 0852 seems like an health infomercial, and so does 0858, but I'm not sure. 0859 seems more like an ad. No idea what 0904 has. I'm hoping there's something in these four clips, if not to make an ID, then at least to indicate a possible source.

    Any leads or comments are appreciated, with thanks,

    June 28: DJ talking about Marvel movies.

    The other two are definitely KROM.

    July 15:

    1051: Mentions Tom Christiansen, who is the manager for the Panamá national team. Mexico would play them the next day in the Gold Cup.
    1055: Mentions several MLS fixtures. I cross-checked the Chicago/Toronto fixture. They mention it being at 7:30, which it was in Central Time.
    1057: Close of the sports show followed immediately by a ViX ad. This is a streaming service owned by TelevisaUnivision available in the US and Mexico. Its placement here makes me think KROM more than XHERG.
    1107: Wow, what an oddity. There's some sort of long story and then a bunch of banter. I heard "el show más perrón de las mañanas" which seems to refer to Raul Brindis—his name is buried at 1:28 in the clip. He mentions San Antonio as the first market where they aired. This has to be KROM too.

    July 30:

    0852: Talk of herniated discs.
    0858: Same program. The doctor mentions Medicare just before he is wiped out. This must be a US program.
    0859: Same program, doctor mentioning monthly payments. 00:33 is a disclaimer that Univisión Radio is not responsible for the statements and health claims in the preceding program! (Univisión is a bit hard to dig out) There is then some sort of internet ad.
    0904: Fast talk in a commercial of some sort.

      Thanks, Raymie.
      I can pick out the tenor of all you point out, and enough words for the context and text you mention. I don't even come close to picking out 'Univision' - though you do say it is a bit hard to dig out. But the mention of Medicare is clear enough that it's obviously US.I can barely make out the name Raul Brindis, but I'd agree that there's enough to pin it on KROM on both dates. KROM is common enough when I'm getting a good TX opening, even though it clocks in at 1495 miles. I was hoping for Mexico. But I appreciate the certainty I now have.
      This may very well be the first summer in many years where I don't have a single catch from there. I have more Spanish language unIDs, but I'm still reviewing those, and from initial listening I'm suspecting US domestics (though a couple could be new catches).
      Again, thank you for listening and commenting so thoroughly, and to anyone else who also gave 'em a spin.
