KGLA is the first and only Hispanic owned and
operated Spanish radio station in Louisiana!  
As a local market leader, we have served the
greater New Orleans community for more than
40 years.  Our efforts after Hurricane Katrina
were recognized by two of the largest national
Hispanic associations in the country: the
National Council of La Raza and the National
Association of Hispanic Journalists.
Our upbeat programming, positive on-air personalities and dedication to
community service have built the largest and most loyal audience of Spanish
speakers in Greater New Orleans. Advertising with KGLA is the best way to
increase your company’s awareness in the New Orleans Hispanic market.
