Radio & Records

--NRG Media Spanish adult hits KMMQ (La Preciosa)/Omaha has morphed into what the company is calling a "younger and more hip Spanish regional Mexican hits station" and is now known as "Ke Padre 1020AM."

Morning host Jose Ramon says the station will focus on music from the past 15 years to today. "Ke Padre is a spiced up mix of great musical groups like Ranchera, Grupera, Nortena, Bañda, Cumbia, Duranguense and other adult Spanish hits artists," Ramon adds." As a member of the Omaha Hispanic community, I am confident they are going to love this radio station as much as I do."

Noting that the change happened on April Fool's Day, the station said in its release that "this is no April Fool’s joke. On-air talent, including Ramon, has been promoting the new format for more than a week." —Mike Boyle, Radio & Records.
