WNOW (AM)
WNOW (1030 kHz) "Leyendas" is an AM radio station broadcasting a Classic Regional Mexican format licensed to Mint Hill, North Carolina, United States. The AM frequency is currently owned by Noberto Sanchez's Norsan Media, through licensee Norsan Media LLC.
The AM frequency is a daytime-only operation, as it operates on the same frequency as clear-channel WBZ in Boston.
In addition to the main station at 1030 kHz, WNOW is relayed by an FM translator in order to widen its broadcast area and provide 24 hour coverage with stereo high fidelity sound.
The station signed on August 1, 1987, in Union County as a contemporary Christian station by the founding general manager, Ken Mayfield. An April sign-on date was delayed by paperwork problems. Artists included Amy Grant, Dion, Dan Peek and Deniece Williams. Russ Jones took over as manager[citation needed] soon after Mayfield's departure in 1989 for WTYC.
By 1992, WNOW was already offering programming from other countries. A two-hour Saturday show called "Gemutlichkeit" originating from Virginia and hosted by Inge Fischer-White included German, Swiss and Austrian music. Also in 1992, Charlotte's Latin American Coalition asked Jones to add Spanish programming.
By 1996, with WRCM playing music, WNOW had switched to Christian talk.
By May 1997, half of WNOW's programming was in Spanish, as various groups added shows. Luis Beltran hosted "RadioSol" starting on April 1, which was two-thirds music, mostly Regional Mexican, along with information such as news from Caracol and Hispanic Radio Network. WNOW aired music, soccer, and Christian programming such as "La Voz De Redencion" ("The Voice of Redemption"). The area's Spanish-speaking population had increased from 12,000 to 75,000 since 1990, though illegal aliens would probably put that number closer to 100,000.
Although WNOW carried the programming of "Radio Lider," this name was owned, and programming produced, by a separate company called Orbimedia Lider Communications Inc.
