Suzanne Scott, the Chief Executive Officer of FOX News Media, remains a consistent fixture been on Forbes' annual ranking of the World's 100 Most Powerful Women, earning the distinction in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 for her leadership in media and entertainment.
Suzanne Scott
Forbes' 2025 ranking emphasizes emerging trends such as AI innovation, cultural shifts, and geopolitical influence, evaluated across four pillars: money, media, impact, and spheres of influence. The list features 17 newcomers and includes sectors like business, technology, finance, media & entertainment, politics & policy, and philanthropy.
Scott's leadership has solidified FOX News Media's position as a powerhouse, encompassing FOX News Channel, FOX Business Network, FOX News Digital, and streaming services like FOX Nation.
In 2025, the network's revenue surged, fueled by political advertising, and it maintained its edge in cable news amid digital disruptions.
Beyond ratings, Scott has been lauded for fostering collaboration and creativity—her "four C's" mantra (culture, creativity, change, collaboration)—which she discussed during a November 2025 appearance at the University of South Carolina's Baldwin Lecture, where she was introduced as a Forbes-recognized leader.
Pay TV subscribers in the U.S. rose by 303,000 in Q3 2025, marking the first quarterly increase for linear TV packages—including traditional multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) and virtual MVPDs (vMVPDs)—since 2017, according to MoffettNathanson's latest "Cord Cutting Monitor" report.
This modest gain ends eight years of continuous declines and follows heavy losses earlier in the year, including 2.455 million in Q1 2025 and 1.054 million in Q2 2025. The last prior increase occurred in Q4 2017 with 318,000 added subscribers.
Analysts attribute the Q3 uptick largely to seasonal factors tied to the start of the football season, which traditionally boosts subscriptions. Growth was driven entirely by vMVPDs such as YouTube TV, while traditional operators like Comcast and Charter Communications continued to lose customers.
Despite the overall positive quarter, MoffettNathanson highlighted ongoing moderation in declines for traditional distributors, improving for the fifth straight quarter—with Charter showing the most significant slowdown—and noted that vMVPD growth persists but at a slower 4.6% annual rate, unchanged from recent quarters and the lowest since the category's inception.
➦In 1896...Guglielmo Marconi gave the first public demonstration of radio at Toynbee Hall, London.
➦In 1901...Marconi sends first Atlantic wireless transmission
Italian physicist and radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi succeeds in sending the first radio transmission across the Atlantic Ocean, disproving detractors who told him that the curvature of the earth would limit transmission to 200 miles or less.
The message--simply the Morse-code signal for the letter "s"--traveled more than 2,000 miles from Poldhu in Cornwall, England, to Signal Hill in Newfoundland, Canada.
Born in Bologna, Italy, in 1874 to an Italian father and an Irish mother, Marconi studied physics and became interested in the transmission of radio waves after learning of the experiments of the German physicist Heinrich Hertz. He began his own experiments in Bologna beginning in 1894 and soon succeeded in sending a radio signal over a distance of 1.5 miles. Receiving little encouragement for his experiments in Italy, he went to England in 1896.
He formed a wireless telegraph company and soon was sending transmissions from distances farther than 10 miles. In 1899, he succeeded in sending a transmission across the English Channel. That year, he also equipped two U.S. ships to report to New York newspapers on the progress of the America's Cup yacht race. That successful endeavor aroused widespread interest in Marconi and his wireless company.
Marconi's greatest achievement came on December 12, 1901, when he received a message sent from England at St. John's, Newfoundland. The transatlantic transmission won him worldwide fame.
Ironically, detractors of the project were correct when they declared that radio waves would not follow the curvature of the earth, as Marconi believed. In fact, Marconi's transatlantic radio signal had been headed into space when it was reflected off the ionosphere and bounced back down toward Canada.
Much remained to be learned about the laws of the radio wave and the role of the atmosphere in radio transmissions, and Marconi would continue to play a leading role in radio discoveries and innovations during the next three decades.
In 1909, he was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in physics with the German radio innovator Ferdinand Braun. After successfully sending radio transmissions from points as far away as England and Australia, Marconi turned his energy to experimenting with shorter, more powerful radio waves.
He died in 1937, and on the day of his funeral all British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) stations were silent for two minutes in tribute to his contributions to the development of radio.
➦In 1913...Longtime CBS correspondent Winston Burdett was born in Buffalo NY. He was one of the original “Murrow’s boys” who covered Eastern Europe, North Africa and Italy during WWII and afterwards, for 22 years based in Rome. He died May 19, 1993 at age 79.
➦In 1915... Frank (Francis Albert) Sinatra was born in Hoboken, N.J. As well as an illustrious recording & broadcast career, he won an Oscar in 1953 for his supporting role in “From Here to Eternity.” He was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Grammy in 1965. Sinatra died May 14 1998 suffering from a combination of heart & kidney disease, and bladder cancer. He was aged 82.
➦In 1937...the Federal Communications Commission was upset with NBC radio over a Sunday skit on the Charlie McCarthy Show that starred Mae West.
The satirical routine was based on the biblical tale of Adam and Eve and, well, it got a bit out of hand by the standards of the day. So, following the wrist-slap by the FCC, NBC banned Miss West from its airwaves for 15 years. Even the mere mention of her name on NBC was a no-no.
➦In 1957...KEX, Portland, Oregon Disc Jockey Al Priddy, was fired for playing Elvis Presley's rendition of "White Christmas." He violated the radio station's ban against the song. The station had banned Presley’s interpretations of Christmas carols.
➦In 1968...Actress Tallulah Bankhead died of pneumonia at 65. She was hostess of NBC Radio’s 90-minute Big Show 1950-52, and the following year, was one of the rotating hosts on NBC-TV’s All-Star Revue. Her last screen appearances were as the Black Widow on TV’s Batman in 1967.
➦In 1971...The man who headed Radio Corporation of America and put National Broadcasting Company together, David Sarnoff died at age 80.
Throughout most of his career he led the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) in various capacities from shortly after its founding in 1919 until his retirement in 1970.
The CEO of Eastlan Ratings, Nielsen's primary competitor in local radio audience measurement, is scheduled to testify today in federal court as part of Cumulus Media's high-stakes antitrust lawsuit against Nielsen, amid claims by the broadcaster that other potential key witnesses are reluctant to appear due to fears of retaliation.
Mike Gould, head of Eastlan Ratings—a smaller rival offering lower-priced local market data—is set to provide surprise third-party testimony in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, where Cumulus is seeking a preliminary injunction to block Nielsen's controversial policy tying access to essential national radio ratings to mandatory purchases of its local ratings services.
Cumulus Media, owner of nearly 400 stations and the Westwood One national network, filed the suit in October 2025, accusing Nielsen of abusing its monopoly power in national ratings—and dominant position in local markets—to stifle competition, inflate prices, and force broadcasters into buying unneeded local data. The company argues this "tying policy" violates antitrust laws, potentially causing irreparable harm to its business by rendering national ratings incomplete ("Swiss cheese," as one Nielsen executive allegedly described alternatives) and jeopardizing advertising revenue.
In court filings, Cumulus has informed Judge Jeannette Vargas that several key witnesses have expressed hesitation to testify, citing concerns over reprisals from Nielsen, which they describe as a powerful industry gatekeeper capable of hiking rates or punishing non-compliant clients. This fear of retaliation underscores broader industry tensions, with Cumulus warning that unchecked practices could reduce competition, harm innovation, and raise costs for advertisers and stations nationwide.
Nielsen has dismissed the lawsuit as meritless—a mere contract dispute over pricing—and vowed to defend vigorously, while allowing Gould's unplanned testimony represents a late setback for its position ahead of arguments on the injunction. The case highlights long-simmering frustrations in radio measurement, where Eastlan has struggled to gain traction against Nielsen's near-total control.
President Trump declared Wednesday that it is “imperative” CNN be sold—either as part of a broader Warner Bros. Discovery transaction or separately—to remove its current leadership, whom he branded “a disgrace,” “corrupt or incompetent,” and purveyors of “poison” and “lies.”
Speaking to reporters during a White House meeting with business leaders, Trump said any approved deal must guarantee CNN changes hands, warning against leaving the network’s executives “with some money, good money and CNN so that they can spend even more money spreading poison.”
Key quotes from the president:
“I think the people that have run CNN for the last long period of time are a disgrace… It’s lies. It’s a disgrace.”
“I think CNN should be sold because the people that are running CNN right now… are either corrupt or incompetent.”
“Any deal should be guaranteed and certain that CNN is part of it or sold separately… I don’t think that should be allowed to continue.”
Trump’s remarks appear to tilt in favor of Paramount Global’s all-in bid for Warner Bros. Discovery assets, which would place CNN under new ownership open to overhaul, over Netflix’s competing proposal to simply spin the network off (potentially allowing current WBD leadership temporary control).
The president reiterated his long-running criticism of CNN as “fake news,” mocked its “ratings so low they’re not even counted or relevant anymore,” and expressed concern that Netflix’s approach would give the streaming giant “a lot of market share” and create “a problem.”
He remained publicly neutral on the Paramount bid, saying only, “I don’t know enough about it,” though allies connected to the Ellison family have linked their offer to advancing Trump’s media priorities.
The comments mark the latest escalation in Trump’s years-long feud with the network and inject direct presidential pressure into the ongoing bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery’s media properties.
FOX News Channel once again dominated both cable and broadcast television in primetime, averaging 2.85 million total viewers and 265,000 Adults 25–54 from 8–11 p.m. ET — marking a +2% increase from the previous week.
Key highlights for Fox News:
Outdelivered ABC (2.95M total primetime across all programming), NBC (2.71M), and CBS (3.12M) in the key news demo (A25–54).
Extended its streak of beating every broadcast network in the demo to 15 consecutive weeks.
Top programs:
The Five – 3.7 million viewers
Jesse Watters Primetime – 3.1 million viewers
Strong interest in holiday-season economic coverage and rising international tensions helped drive the week-to-week gain.
MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) finished second in cable news with 920,000 primetime total viewers and 85,000 in the A25–54 demo.
Up a modest 1% from the prior week in total viewers.
Down 8% year-over-year as post-election viewership continues to normalize.
Tuesday’s The Rachel Maddow Show led the network with 1.6 million viewers.
CNN placed third with 550,000 primetime total viewers and 95,000 in the demo.
Essentially flat week-over-week.
Marked CNN’s weakest December weekly performance since 2020.
Anderson Cooper 360 was the network’s top show at 620,000 viewers.
In total-day viewing, Fox News averaged 1.78 million total viewers and 215,000 in the demo, more than MSNBC and CNN combined.
📺BROADCAST EVENING NEWS:
ABC's World News Tonight with David Muir dominated the week of December 2-8, 2025, averaging 7.89 million total viewers and 1.02 million viewers in the key Adults 25-54 demographic, according to Nielsen live + same-day data.
This marked a 1% increase from the prior week and solidified ABC's ongoing lead over competitors, outpacing NBC by 1.4 million viewers and CBS by 3.2 million.
NBC's Nightly News with Tom Llamas placed second with 6.49 million total viewers and 842,000 in the 25-54 demo, reflecting a slight 0.5% dip week-over-week but steady performance amid seasonal holiday programming competition. CBS's Evening News with John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois trailed in third, drawing 4.69 million total viewers and 548,000 in the demo, up marginally by 0.8% from the previous week but continuing its season-long challenges following anchor changes.
The week's strong showing for ABC came amid heightened viewer interest in post-Thanksgiving economic updates and early holiday travel stories, boosting its margins across all metrics. All three newscasts saw modest gains in the 25-54 demo compared to the same week in 2024, with ABC up 3%, NBC flat, and CBS up 2%, signaling resilience in younger audiences despite overall broadcast declines.
These figures exclude holiday specials and focus on Monday-Friday airings, as is standard for Nielsen evening news tracking. ABC extended its season-to-date lead, averaging 7.62 million viewers through early December, compared to NBC's 6.18 million and CBS's 4.32 million. Industry analysts attribute ABC's edge to consistent storytelling and digital cross-promotion, while NBC benefits from Llamas' fresh energy post-Holt era. CBS, despite demo improvements, grapples with format adjustments, though recent gains hint at stabilization heading into 2026.
WFAN-FM/AM, the most listened-to sports radio station in America, has announced a revamped weekday programming lineup, effective January 5, 2026.
The changes are highlighted by the return of Craig Carton, who will host “The Carton Show” alongside Chris McMonigle. The station is launching a new midday show, "Evan & Tiki," featuring Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash. “Evan and Tiki” executive producer Tommy Lugauer will host a new evening show, "After Hours."
"Craig Carton's return reaffirms WFAN's position as New York's premier sports destination for big personalities, compelling conversation and highly engaging content that is difficult to ignore,” said Chris Oliviero, Chief Business Officer and New York Market President, Audacy. “Our 2026 lineup has familiar marquee voices all day and all night, guaranteeing that whenever you tune into The Fan, you will be smack dab in the middle of the New York sports culture."
"WFAN has always been home to me,” said Carton. “Having the opportunity to return and rejoin the best sports talk station in the world is an opportunity I am eagerly looking forward to and beyond excited for.”
New WFAN weekday programming lineup is as follows:
5:00 a.m. – 6:00 a.m. ET: "The Warm-Up Show with Al Dukes & Jerry Recco"
2:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. ET: "The Carton Show" with Craig Carton & Chris McMonigle
7:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m. ET: “After Hours” with Tommy Lugauer
Craig Carton rejoins WFAN after previously co-hosting “Carton & Roberts” (2020–2023) and “Boomer and Carton” (2007–2017) on the station. On television, he most recently hosted "The Carton Show" and “Breakfast Ball” on FOX Sports 1.

YouTube TV will launch more than 10 cheaper, genre-specific subscription plans in early 2026, with a major new Sports Plan that includes ESPN Unlimited and Fox Sports 1 among its core channels, the company announced December 10, 2025.
The upcoming Sports Plan will deliver national sports coverage at a lower price than the current $83/month base package, featuring ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC (with locals), the full ESPN suite, FS1, TNT, TBS, USA, and seamless integration of ESPN’s direct-to-consumer “ESPN Unlimited” hub inside the YouTube TV app.
Exact pricing remains unannounced but is expected to land well below the full bundle.
In addition to the Sports Plan, YouTube TV confirmed over 10 targeted packages focused on genres such as news, family/kids, entertainment, and lifestyle. Subscribers will be able to mix and match these slimmer tiers or combine them (e.g., Sports + News) for customized bundles that exclude unwanted channels.
The move follows fresh carriage renewals with Disney, Fox, and NBCUniversal, enabling YouTube TV to unbundle content that was previously only available in the all-in-one base plan. All plans will retain YouTube TV hallmarks: unlimited DVR, multiview, and the ability to add premium options like NFL Sunday Ticket.
Rollout begins in early 2026, with full pricing and channel lineups to be revealed closer to launch. Even current base-plan subscribers will gain free access to ESPN Unlimited by the end of 2026.
Two Democratic U.S. representatives have fired a direct warning to Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) leadership: any acquisition by Paramount Skydance could face intense scrutiny, potential blocks, or even forced unraveling under a future Democratic administration due to deep ties to foreign investors from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi.
In a letter to WBD CEO David Zaslav, the board, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Reps. Sam Liccardo (D-Calif.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) labeled the deal a "serious national security concern," arguing it could hand undue influence over a cornerstone of American media to state-linked entities with conflicting interests.
The lawmakers, both on the House Financial Services Committee, urged WBD to immediately file a voluntary notice with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) for a mandatory review before any binding agreement. They emphasized that even without formal control—such as board seats—the $24 billion in funding from Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds could subtly shape content and operations at WBD, which owns CNN, HBO, Warner Bros. studios, and franchises like Harry Potter and DC Comics.
"Even absent overt control, such influence can present a national-security threat," the letter states, citing risks from investors like Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's Public Investment Fund, linked to the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
This intervention escalates an already chaotic Hollywood takeover saga. On Monday, Paramount Skydance—recently acquired by David Ellison for $8 billion—launched a hostile $108.4 billion all-cash bid directly to WBD shareholders at $30 per share, aiming to derail a $72 billion deal WBD struck with Netflix just days earlier for its studios, HBO, and Max streaming service. Paramount's offer, backed by Ellison's father Larry (Oracle co-founder), RedBird Capital, Apollo Global Management, Bank of America, Citibank, and Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners (which draws heavily from Saudi funds), promises to forgo governance rights for foreign backers to sidestep CFIUS jurisdiction.
Yet Liccardo and Pressley dismissed this as insufficient, warning that a future Democratic Congress "may recommend that regulators push for divestitures," potentially gutting the merger's value years after closing.
The letter demands a response from WBD by December 22, framing the board's duty as protecting both national security and shareholder interests amid "uncertain but potentially extensive mitigation obligations."
Broader Democratic opposition echoes this: Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) have decried the bid as an "anti-monopoly nightmare" laced with "influence-peddling" from Trump allies like the Kushner-linked fund and Ellison family, who recently dined with President Trump and settled a $16 million lawsuit over edited Kamala Harris interview footage at CBS News. Warren specifically called for DOJ and CFIUS probes into the "who's who of Trump buddies" financing, highlighting antitrust risks in consolidating TV giants.
WBD has not publicly responded, but its board is reviewing the bid while standing by the Netflix agreement, which excludes cable assets like CNN and would spin them off.
Classic Rock 103.5 WIMZ in Knoxville will drop its syndicated John Boy & Billy Big Show and launch a brand-new, live-and-local morning show on Monday, January 5, 2026.
The new program, “Jay Mac & Drake in the Morning,” will air weekdays from 6–10 a.m. and feature two longtime WIMZ personalities: evening host Jay Mac and Programming & Promotions Coordinator Drake Meredith.
Jay Mac & Drake
The switch ends decades of syndicated morning programming on the station and returns Knoxville’s classic rock mornings to fully local talent, a move designed to strengthen ties with East Tennessee listeners.
Jay Mac, a WIMZ veteran since 2006 and the voice of the station’s popular Night Show, called the change “one wild and crazy ride” and promised high-energy classic rock, local stories, traffic, and listener interaction. Drake Meredith, who already handles weekends and station events, will bring his promotional flair and deep community connections to the lineup.
Classic Rock 103.5 WIMZ, owned by Midwest Communications, plays hits from the 1970s, ’80s, and ’90s and remains one of East Tennessee’s top-rated rock stations. The new morning show can be heard on 103.5 FM, online at wimz.com, the WIMZ app, iHeartRadio, or smart speakers starting January 5.
Beasley Broadcast Group (NASDAQ: BBGI) shares surged as much as 500% Wednesday, peaking at $26.37 before closing at $16.69—a 312% daily gain—amid a classic meme stock frenzy driven by retail investors on social media, with multiple trading halts due to extreme volatility and no apparent fundamental catalyst.
The spike, which began from a previous close of $4.32, was fueled by hype in private Discord groups spilling onto platforms like X, where promoters touted unverified rumors of hedge fund buyouts at $9–$12 per share or impending mergers, amplified by AI bots and momentum trading algorithms.
Despite the excitement, analysts and industry observers warn the rally is speculative and likely short-lived, similar to past meme stocks like GameStop, as gains often reverse sharply once hype fades.
Beasley, a Naples, Florida-based radio broadcaster owning about 112 stations in 87 markets, continues facing financial challenges, including declining revenues (down 2.76% to $240.29 million in 2024) and pressures from shifting to digital amid high debt and competition.
As of this morning, the stock's sustainability remains questionable, with potential for rapid declines if retail interest wanes, urging caution for traders.
Chicago public radio station WBEZ-FM 91.5 went off the air locally Wednesday morning after a power outage struck its Navy Pier studios, forcing the station to abandon live programming and switch to syndicated BBC World Service feeds for several hours.
The blackout began around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, knocking out electricity to the entire facility at 848 E. Grand Avenue. Staff evacuated the building as a precaution, and local shows—including the scheduled 10 a.m. “Say More” program—were canceled.
The outage also darkened the shared newsroom of the Chicago Sun-Times, which operates alongside WBEZ under the nonprofit Chicago Public Media umbrella.
Over-the-air broadcasts on 91.5 FM continued without interruption using remote feeds, but the station’s website, app, and live stream went silent. As of early afternoon, ComEd had not provided an estimated restoration time.
WBEZ, Chicago’s primary NPR member station, has operated from its high-profile Navy Pier studios since 1995. By late afternoon power was gradually returning, and the station began resuming portions of its regular schedule.
Listeners were advised to tune to 91.5 FM or access podcasts while local production remained offline.
U.S. radio stations should finally pay recording artists and performers for airplay, KISS legend Gene Simmons told a Senate subcommittee on December 9, 2025, urging passage of the bipartisan American Music Fairness Act (AMFA).
Speaking before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, Simmons declared the current system — the only one among developed nations that pays performers nothing for terrestrial radio plays — an “injustice” and said artists are treated “worse than slaves” because “slaves at least get food and water.” He highlighted icons like Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, and fellow 2025 Kennedy Center honoree George Strait, who have collectively earned zero dollars despite millions of radio spins.The 73-year-old rocker revealed he personally informed country star George Strait at the Kennedy Center Honors on December 7 that he had never been paid for airplay of hits like “Amarillo by Morning.”
Simmons argued the U.S. stands alone — even Russia and China pay performers — and that the $14 billion radio ad industry can easily afford fair compensation, especially with exemptions protecting small and non-commercial stations.
Appearing the next morning on CBS News 24/7 Mornings, Simmons predicted the bill will pass, citing bipartisan support and his recent conversation with President Trump, whom he praised for the 2018 Music Modernization Act. “If you are against this bill, you are un-American,” he told lawmakers.
The hearing marked the first Senate discussion of terrestrial radio royalties since 2009. More than 300 artists have signed letters supporting AMFA, which is sponsored by Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) and backed by the RIAA, Recording Academy, and SoundExchange.
Broadcasters oppose the measure, warning it could hurt local stations, though large conglomerates like iHeartMedia would bear the bulk of any new fees.
Simmons, honored alongside Strait and others at the Kennedy Center just days earlier, used the platform to blend personal stories with a blunt call for equity: “Performers need radio, radio needs performers — but equitable doesn’t mean you get zero.”
Joe Buck, who has called a record 24 World Series, has been named the 2026 recipient of the National Baseball Hall of Fame’s Ford C. Frick Award for excellence in baseball broadcasting.
Buck and his late father, Jack—the legendary St. Louis Cardinals voice and 1987 Frick Award winner—become the only father-son duo in history to claim the honor.
“It means so much. But even more to my mom and family,” Buck told The Athletic. “My dad going in was the happiest I ever saw him. That was 1987. And now this. It’s surreal.”
Jack and Joe Buck
Buck began his big-league career alongside his father in the Cardinals booth in 1991. He joined Fox Sports in 1994, added NFL play-by-play duties, and called his first World Series in 1996 (followed by 1998 and every Fall Classic from 2000 through 2021).
The 56-year-old Buck, an eight-time Emmy winner, is one of the most recognizable voices in American sports. He has also broadcast seven Super Bowls and 21 MLB All-Star Games. In 2020 he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, making he and Jack the only father-son pair to earn that institution’s Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award as well.
Since 2022, Buck has served as the voice of ESPN’s Monday Night Football, continuing the highly regarded partnership with Troy Aikman that began at Fox two decades earlier.
The Ford C. Frick Award will be formally presented to Buck during Hall of Fame induction weekend, July 24-27, 2026, in Cooperstown, New York.
The 13th annual radiothon took place on December 4-5 and was hosted by the station’s morning show “El ChiquilÃn Todas Las Mañanas.” Throughout the two days, the station featured stories from patients and their families who’ve received care from the hospitals and expressed their gratitude for the pediatric experts and resources the hospitals provide. El ChiquilÃn can be heard weekday mornings from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. CST.
“I am so proud of the Metroplex community,” said El Chiquilin, Host, La Grande 107.5. “Even in difficult times, they continue to rise above it and give generously to support such a meaningful cause.”
📻Listeners can tune in to La Grande 107.5 (KMVK-FM) in Dallas on air and nationwide on the Audacyapp and website. Fans can also connect with the station on social media via X, Facebook and Instagram.
