Spanish Language Radio pioneer, Julio Liberman passed
Spanish Language Radio pioneer, Julio Liberman, passed away on March 3rd. He was 87. Along with his brother, Jose and Elias, Julio purchased XEGM in Tijuana in the 60’s and extended its reach to Los Angeles. In 1974, they purchased KLVE in Los Angeles and flipped the format to Spanish. This was the first Spanish language station in Los Angeles, and only the second in the entire United States. The success of KLVE was the inducement for other broadcasters to launch similar Hispanic-community serving Spanish language stations, and for that, the industry and the Hispanic community are humbly indebted. Julio was the recipient of Radio Ink’s Lifetime Leadership Award, the highest honor of the Medallas de Cortez Awards, in 2013. He is the father of Entravision’s COO Jeff Liberman.
