Hoping to tap the large Spanish dominant Latino market segment that listens to AM radio RadioCadena, earlier this year Univision’s national AM radio network, launched Hola Martín, a daily program. Although the program began airing June 2008 the announcement was only made recently. The hour long call in format program, hosted by Martín Llorens, features celebrity guests, experts and musical content. Kmart, the main sponsor of the show which airs Monday through Friday, is featured prominently.
“Hola Martín speaks directly to the needs and concerns of our demographic, young Hispanics who tune in to be both entertained and educated about topics not addressed on other Spanish-language talk radio programs,” said Gary Stone, president and chief operating officer, Univision Radio.
As part of a sponsorship package, the program will include Kmart brand spots and vignettes as well as two integrated segments that will highlight brands and products available at the national retailer.
Since the program launch celebrity guests have included Camilo Cruz, author, La Vaca; Sammy, a beauty industry entrepreneur; Karla Martinez, host on Despierta America and author of El Poder de la Sonrisa, and Maggie Jimenez, host of Que Sabor.
