WELCOME                  

 

Dear Friends,

 

After launching some new great shows like 40 Principales in the first quarter and adding more and more stations to our family of affiliates, we continue to have reasons to celebrate here in GLR. Our network covered the Mexican Soccer 1st Division League “Torneo de Clausura 2007” tournament from beginning to end. Once again our listeners were able to enjoy the Finals, broadcast live through our affiliates from the stadiums in Mexico. Club Santos, one of the teams GLR followed throughout the entire tournament, was Champion…

 

Congratulations, Santos!!

ALL ABOUT…

CHIVAS DE GUADALAJARA

 

 

And the Soccer Fun Boosts in July…

 

Starting with “Apertura 2008 Tournament” in July,

GLR is Home to the Exclusive Radio Rights

for Chivas de Guadalajara!

    Chivas is the most successful team in Mexican soccer history with 11 championships, the most recent being the Apertura 2006 (Opening 2006).

    Guadalajara is the only soccer club in Mexico's history to exclusively use Mexican born players.  For this reason, Chivas is often referred to as Mexico’s second national team as it has avid fans across the country who may root for another team, but always continue to support ‘El Rebaño Sagrado’ (‘Sacred flock’).

    Guadalajara plays in the Primera División de Mexico (1st Division), and is one of few teams that have never dropped to the 2nd Division due to an unsuccessful season of play.

 

GLR’s coverage of Mexican Soccer league also includes 6 Other Top Teams!

GREAT NEWS FOR OUR INDUSTRY

 

·          Survey finds 70% of Americans listen as much as five years ago.

Despite competition from the Internet and other audio devices, radio continues to be popular among American adults. That’s according to a just-released telephone survey from American Media Services, which found 61% of adults listen to the radio every day. AMS says the number is “consistent” with last year’s poll. Car listening remains strong too, with 73% of respondents saying they turn on the radio when they get into their vehicle. And when it comes time for a commercial break, 53% say they usually stay with the same station, 35% change it and 8% turn off the radio. AMS chairman Edward Seeger says the findings show “Regular radio remains a strong industry even while other audio devices are available.” About a third of this poll’s participants say they have listened to online radio, but just 12% have tuned into HD Radio. Seeger says “Perhaps because the Internet is broadly accessible, many more Americans have listened to the radio over the Internet than have purchased the equipment to listen to HD radio.”

 

·          Radio reaches 95 percent of the 12+ Hispanic population weekly, with the average listener tuned in for over 22 hours (Source: Arbitron).
