Radio Ink accepting nominations for Medallas De Cortez.

Radio Ink is now accepting nominations for Hispanic radio’s most prestigious awards, the Medallas de Cortez.

The Medallas de Cortez honor excellence in Hispanic radio broadcasting in management, programming, sales, and Station of the Year categories. The awards are named in honor of Raoul Cortez, who in 1946 founded the United States’ first Spanish-language radio station, KCOR in San Antonio, Texas.

“This award provides much needed recognition within the Hispanic radio community,” said Radio Ink Publisher Eric Rhoads. “Our goal is to reward those who exhibit the best quality and professionalism in putting forward a positive image for Hispanic broadcasting and marketing.”

Nominations for the Medallas de Cortez will be accepted through April 7, 2008. The awards will be presented at Radio Ink’s Hispanic Radio Conference, May 19 and 20 at the Biltmore Hotel in Miami.
