I think an English radio station would be cool, maybe the startup costs would be less as well. It seems to me that most radio stations here are pretty shoestring budget, so entry may be cheaper than anyone suspects. With the right connections and payouts, official licensing could probably be postponed indefinitely. I think there may be listeners looking for any non-merengue/bachata/salsa programming, news and local commentary in english and advertizers willing to promote to the expat and visitor crowd. We are consumers, most of us desperately seking higher than usual levels of service and quality and most willing to pay a (reasonable) premium for it.

I have never spent time in SD, maybe there are english radio stations there, but here in Santiago and on the North Coast I would rather listen to conchos honking horns than local radio.
