Radio Caracol Becomes Spanish Flagship
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Radio Caracol 1260 has entered into a three-year partnership to serve as the exclusive Spanish broadcasting rights holder for Miami Hurricanes football games, the University of Miami announced Friday.
“Radio Caracol brings a strong listener base, deep local roots and expertise in promotions,” Miami Associate AD for Communications & Marketing Chris Freet said. “We were looking for a more than just a radio partner; we needed a partner in the community. One that can help UM builds relationships locally and creates a stronger foothold in the Spanish market. We hope this three-year partnership is just the start of a long tradition.”
WSUA 1260 AM, the leader in Spanish language News/Talk/Sports programming in South Florida, will become the Spanish language flagship station of the Miami Hurricanes and will broadcast football games for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons. Pepe “Chamby” Campos (analyst) and Jose Martinez (analyst) will serve as the on-air team. Martinez is a long-time Canes broadcaster, while Campos is one of the most respected and tenured Spanish radio voices in South Florida.
“The Canes are a symbol of our city, dear to the hearts of Miamians,” Radio Caracol General Manager Tomas Martinez said. “We are thrilled to bring live coverage of all the excitement to the Hispanic aficionados in South Florida on our station. Partnerships like this, together with our daily top quality programming, are what have made our station lead the offering in Spanish language talk radio in our community.”
