‘Cali 93.1’ Morning Host Locked In For Three More Years.

Angelica Vale, morning host at Meruelo Media Spanish CHR “Cali 93.9” KLLI Los Angeles, has signed a new three-year contract extension with the station. The Hollywood Walk of Fame star, radio personality, TV, film, theater entertainer, and community champion will remain with the company through December 31, 2028.

Under the terms of her extension, Vale will continue to lead the “La Vale Show” on “Cali 93.9” and collaborate closely with Meruelo Media President & CEO (and husband) Otto Padron and Head of Audio Brands, Pio Ferro on new projects.

“Radio has been a key part of my career all my life,” Vale said in a release. “It’s where I learned how to truly connect with people, and I love the unique way it allows me to connect with our listeners. Huge thanks to Alex Meruelo, Luis Armona, and the entire Meruelo Media family for their continued belief in me. And a special shout-out to my incredible on-air crew — the best team in radio — for making the La Vale Show such a blast on and off the mic, and, most importantly, for our amazing listeners.”

Luis Armona, Principal and Co-Founder of Meruelo Group added, “It’s an honor to extend our relationship with Angie, one of the most iconic figures in Latin entertainment. Her impact on Cali 93.9 over the last five years has been key to our growth, and we’re thrilled to continue this partnership as we expand our reach even further.”

Pio Ferro, Head of Audio Brands, remarked, “In times like these, we could all use a good laugh in the morning. And La Vale is the best at it. Angie’s creativity, humor, and talent are in a league of their own, and we’re thrilled to have her for years to come!”

Vale began her career as a toddler, performing on stage in her native Mexico. With over three decades of experience in theater, television, radio, and film, she has solidified herself as a leading figure in Latin entertainment. She rose to fame with her unforgettable role in “La Fea Más Bella,” Mexico’s version of “Ugly Betty,” and has continued to captivate audiences with her work in TV series, film, theater, and beyond.

She’s starring in a new film with another Rosalyn Sánchez, set to premiere soon, and is part of the production team for the upcoming Broadway production “Real Women Have Curves: The Musical,” based on America Ferrera’s breakout role in the 2002 HBO film. She will also return as the host of Televisa-Univision’s primetime celebrity talent music competition, Juego de Voces, for its second season.

Vale joined the station as the midday host in October 2019 and moved to mornings in January 2020. She says her love for radio fuels her passion.

“Radio offers something that no other medium can,” La Vale shared. “There’s a unique intimacy in live radio that’s raw and unscripted, and that’s what makes it so special. The connection with the audience is immediate and real — it’s a bond that’s unmatched. Only theater comes close, but radio takes it even further. When I’m on air, it feels like I’m having a personal conversation with each listener, and that’s a feeling I can’t replicate anywhere else. It’s where I truly feel at home.”
