After years of deadlock, the FCC has roared back into action since the confirmation of Anna Gomez as the long-awaited fifth Commissioner. Since September, the FCC has made decisive actions on localism, ownership caps, FM geotargeting, and more industry-defining issues.
Now Commissioner Gomez will join Hispanic radio’s best with a keynote address to Radio Ink’s 15th Hispanic Radio Conference on June 12-13, 2024! Join us in San Antonio, home of KCOR, the first Hispanic-owned and operated Spanish-language radio station in the United States, where the Commissioner will open this year’s discussions and festivities.
Commissioner Gomez said, “I am delighted to be joining the Hispanic Radio Conference in June as a keynote speaker. I look forward to discussing the importance of radio to communities. See you in San Antonio!”
