Tino Cochino Radio has signed its 25th affiliate, KWTX-FM (97.5FM), iHeartMedia’s Top 40 station in Waco-Killeen, TX. The show airs weeknights 7-11 p.m. Tino Cochino Radio was launched to stations nationwide in mid-March by YEA Networks, and is now in more than 50% of the 25 largest Hispanic markets in the U.S.
George Laughlin, President and Chief Executive Officer, YEA Networks, said, “We’re very excited to welcome KWTX-FM and iHeartMedia-Waco to the Tino family. We’re thrilled that radio has responded so quickly and that Tino is now in over 50% of the 25 largest Hispanic markets in the U.S.”
Carter, Program Director, KWTX-FM, said, “Looking forward to bringing such an entertaining and interactive show to our family of listeners in Central Texas. Can’t wait to see HUGE numbers at night!”
Born and raised in Lubbock, Texas, Cochino broke into radio at the age 13 as an intern. At 16, he was given his first full-time on-air shift and worked his way to the #1 night show in his hometown. Nearing his 21st birthday, he took his show to San Antonio, building a buzz that took him to Bakersfield, CA, and finally to Power 98.3/KKFR-FM in Phoenix, where he now hosts Tino Cochino Radio weekday mornings from 6-10 a.m.
