The announcer sounds like Charley the crazy newscaster from Hee Haw.

@docsavage98 Because U.S. federal regulations did not apply in Mexico. A station in Mexico could trasmit programs at as many watts as they wanted. These programs could be heard almost all over the U.S. because of the huge amount of wattage they used, and thus effectively covered up much of the competition.

"lonesome valley" doesn't sound like an "old time love song" to me
