RE: Costa-Eagle announces changes

Follow up...

There was NO mention of the Spinners in the article, so I don't know what
happens there, but Costa-Eagle CEO Pat Costa is quoted as saying "Hispanic
braodcasting is the reason we have become successful...so it's only natural
that we will continue to follow the Latino market"

Based on the above quote, I surprised that Costa didn't simply make all 3
properties Spanish language broadcasts...or at least make the North-pointing
signal of 1110AM the English language station.

Makes me wonder if Haverhill simply has a much smaller Hispanic population
than Lawrence, hence making 1490 the English language station.
