The First Local Spanish Radio & Spanish Television Stations Serving Our Community!

KGLA is the first and only Hispanic owned and
operated Spanish radio station in Louisiana!
As a local market leader, we have served the
greater New Orleans community for more than
40 years. Our efforts after Hurricane Katrina
were recognized by two of the largest national
Hispanic associations in the country: the
National Council of La Raza and the National
Association of Hispanic Journalists.

Our upbeat programming, positive on-air personalities and dedication to
community service have built the largest and most loyal audience of Spanish
speakers in Greater New Orleans. Advertising with KGLA is the best way to
increase your company’s awareness in the New Orleans Hispanic market.

NUEVA ESTACION: SPANISH
LANGUAGE CHANNEL JOINS
N.O. TV LINEUP

New Orleans' first full-power
Spanish-language TV station is
on the air, but not all TVs can
pick up the signal, and none of
the local cable lineups currently
carries the channel.

Spearheaded by KGLA AM-1540
owner Ernesto Schweikert,
WHMM is digital-only. So unless
you have a new set equipped to
receive and display over-the-air
digital signals, you won't get it. If
you've got the gear, it's at
Channel 42.

Schweikert is in negotiations with
local cable companies and is
confident that he'll shortly have
widespread cable and
direct-broadcast satellite
carriage for his new station,
which is an affiliate of the
national Telemundo
network.

Schweikert said he intends to
insert local commercials into the
Telemundo feed as soon as he's
got cable deals in place. He
added that he's also had
talks with a couple of local
TV-news providers to air their
newscasts, dubbed in Spanish,
on WHMM.

Schweikert's TV plans preceded
Katrina, but the post-storm
influx of Spanish-speaking
viewers makes the sign-on all the
more timely.

"This is lagniappe, as they say
here in New Orleans," he said.
"Now more than ever before, the
television station is going to be
more suitable (for the
market)."
