Hispanic radio is a market within a market. Radio will see Hispanic formats for all demographics in most markets, as it offers radio’s biggest growth potential. It is being implemented or considered by all radio broadcasters, not just those already in the format.

As an industry within an industry, Hispanic radio broadcasters have an opportunity to shape the future for both. To avoid competitive fighting, Radio Ink is calling for unity among Hispanic radio broadcasters to seek ways to build this industry together and grow radio’s overall share of revenue. The two-day event will be held May 22-23, 2007, in San Antonio, Texas, at the Sheraton Gunther Hotel.

The Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies (AHAA), recognizing the importance of the immigration issue to the Hispanic community (the population from which we emanate and which we serve), is compelled to take part in the debate.
