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.

Since 2001, Arroba de Oro has been coordinating a contest in Latin America to recognize web sites that best contribute to the development of the internet industry in the region. Now, Arroba de Oro (Golden @ Sign) will launch its contest for the first time in the United States to honor companies, organizations and individuals that serve the U.S. Hispanic market via their web sites.
