You mean Poder 800 - or Power 800?

A lot of deejays I've heard both Spanish and English pop-music stations
run little beds during their cut-ins....probably to make the whole on-air
presentation sound much more tight and upbeat.  As long as the break is 
kept short and the music at a relatively unobtrusive volume, it's OK.

The FCC doesn't specify accents or anything.  They just require call 
letters and COL.  It may be a courtesy to actually do a legal ID that can 
be understood. :-)
