“Whether it’s the sounds of familial stories, music connected to monumental memories or hearing news about where you came from, audio connects us to our roots,” Audacy says in a new blog post highlighting its Spanish-language and Exclusive stations.
The company is celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month across its airwaves and digital platforms, as well as the Audacy app.
Exclusive stations include “Salsarengue,” a Salsa-Merengue hybrid featuring the likes of Johnny Ventura, Hermanos Rosario, Gilberto Santa Rosa, and Marc Anthony; and “Spanish POP,” with artists including Shakira, Juanes, Ricky Martin, Enrique Iglesias, Maná, and all the biggest Spanish pop hits.
“Bachatamania” (Juan Luis Guerra, Romeo Santos, Frank Reyes, Anthony Santos); “Las Prohibidas,” with artists like Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Anuel, and Karol G singing in their native tongue; and “San Anto,” which pays homage to the Tejano Music capital of San Antonio and its conjunto sound, are among the array of options.
Audacy’s Spanish-language stations, meanwhile, include “La Grande 107.5 FM” KMVK Dallas-Fort Worth; “Mega 101” KLOL Houston; “Radio Libre 790” WAXY Miami; “Nueva 98.1 FM” WHLL Springfield, MA; “El Zol 107.9” WLZL Washington D.C.; “La Mega 102.3” WLMZ Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, PA; “Puro Tejano Fierro” KMVK-HD2 Dallas-Fort Worth; and the Spanish-language companion platform of news WINS-AM/FM New York, “WINS Noticias.”
The National Association of Broadcasters, meanwhile, is celebrating the role Spanish-language broadcasters have in providing information and protecting their communities from misinformation, especially during election season.
“As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, it’s important to recognize the pivotal role Spanish-language broadcasters play in delivering reliable, culturally relevant information to the Hispanic community,” President/CEO Curtis LeGeyt writes in a blog post. “Spanish language broadcasters are essential to keeping Hispanic voters – one of the fastest-growing and increasingly politically active demographics – accurately informed, particularly during election cycles.”
National Hispanic Month runs from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15.
