Entravision has flipped Regional Mexican “La Tricolor 105.9” KRZY Santa Fe/Albuquerque to its “La Suavecita” brand.
KRZY will run a talk heavy mix of Grupero and Cumbia music featuring Alex ‘El Genio’ Lucas in mornings, Eddie ‘Piolin” Soleto in middays, El Show de Erazno y la Chokolata in afternoons and Futbol De Primera and Mayra Berenice in evenings. The bulk of that lineup is also airing on the new “Jose 97.5/107.1” simulcast in Los Angeles announced on Monday.
