Power FM 105.3 debuts on Houston radio


Power FM 105.3 Houston has hit the Bayou City airwaves, replacing all Selena radio and promising a "Latin Tropical" radio format according to its brand new Facebook page.

As I was writing this post, the station was playing songs by artists like:

Vida De Rico
Camilo

Llegamos a la disco
Daddy Yankee

Rebelion
Joe Arroyo

Bachata Rosa
Juan Luis Guerra

Hey Shorty (Remix)

Chris Andrew, Ozuna

While I was on my blogging break late last year, 105.3 FM started stunting as Selena 105.3 FM playing only songs by the legendary Tejano star. 

Houston has a history of one artist formats going all the way back to 1983 with KBTL “Beatleradio No. 9” on KYST-AM 920 Texas City-Houston.

More recently, Houston radio had stunt formats ahead of the real ones like 2009's "The New Brit 95-7, Houston’s Brit Hits!" before Hot 95.7 KKHH's debut.

More recently we saw 2014's B92, an all Beyonce station, signaling the transition of News92 to Boom 92.1 FM Classic Hip Hop on KROI.
