"It's not true I had nothing on, I had the radio on" - Marilyn Monroe
During a nice opening towards Spain on July 1st one of the stations I picked up was COPE Andalucía. I did hear the regional COPE Andalucía ID, but not the more local Cordoba or Granada ID. And as the two 1 kW transmitters are only 100 kilometers apart it is difficult to say which location I received. Cordoba might be a bit more likely given the other stations I heard, but not by much.
Manuel Marin from the technical department in Granada was so kind to confirm my report.
Another nice catch during the June 18th SpE opening was Radio Andalucía Información on 91.6 MHz from Mijas, Spain. Mijas is an interesting spot as it hosts many transmitters and, more importantly, many stations that can be heard during SpE events. I sent my report to mnaharro@rtva.es . Manuel Garrido Fernández was so kind to confirm my report.
Radio Andalucía is part of RTVA (Radio TV Andalucia) which belongs to the Autonomous Government of Andalucía, so it is a public broadcaster. Another name for RTVA seems to be CanalSur, although maybe I’m missing some corporate legal details here.
I didn’t know Andalucia (or Andalusia) was an autonomous region like Catalonia. So once again: what a nice hobby we have as you learn so much!
Given fact it is a regional public broadcaster there is quite a bit of focus on the region. That means local information, coverage of the various festivals and sports includes bullfights typical for the region. And of course there is flamenco music as you can hear on the clip I recorded:
