(Fresno, CA)  Radio Bilingüe announces programming support for KRTS, Marfa Public Radio, located in Marfa, TX. Officially launched this week, KRTS becomes the first station to provide public broadcast service to the Big Bend and West Texas area, and the brand new station is planning to dedicate a minimum of six hours a week for Radio Bilingüe’s programming.  This Spanish-language block will include Radio Bilingüe’s flagship programming, including the weekday talk show Línea Abierta, the Noticiero Latino news segment, as well as the weekend musical program Onda Tejana. It is estimated that a potential audience of nearly 20,000 Latinos living in the area ranging from Fort Stockton to Presidio and Marfa and Alpine to Marathon will be able to tune in to the bilingual public radio service for the first time.

Almost in its eleventh year on the air, Línea Abierta continues to be the first and only live talk show on Spanish-language radio that has continuously served audiences across the U.S., Puerto Rico and Mexico with engaging shows designed to inform, educate and address issues that improve the lives of Latinos.  Línea Abierta currently airs on XXXX affiliate stations. The talk show service is a production of Radio Bilingüe and its satellite service, Satélite Radio Bilingüe, the national Latino public radio network with headquarters in Fresno and San Francisco, CA.
 
Through Satélite Radio Bilingüe, the non-profit organization distributes news, information and musical programming to radio affiliates throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico and Mexico.  Radio Bilingüe also has a live audio service online at www.radiobilingue.org

Funding for this service is provided in part by The Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
