Rumba: no ratings, but ad money?

[David Tomm]

That would be TRL Latino.  This countdown started up a couple of years 
ago when the Reggaton music craze swept the US Hispanic community.  The 
show is popular on Spanish CHR's and English language rhythmic CHR's in 
heavily hispanic markets.  The English/Spanish mix in talkups is by 
design, as the show targets second and third generation Hispanics 18-34 
who are equally versed in both languages.

This show is an offshoot of the TRL Weekend Countdown, which MTV has 
syndicated for several years now. There are mainstream and rhythmic 
versions of TRL.  It's not nearly as popular as Rick Dees or American 
Top 40 with Ryan Seacrest.  At this point I think TRL Latino may have 
more affiliates than it's mainstream English language counterpart.  I 
think they have affiliage
