Los Angeles—Radio Exitos 93.9’s entertaining and provocative duo, La Comadre Raq-C and Nachin have parted ways with Grupo Radio Centro. The radio duo learned roughly two weeks ago that the station was changing its programming to a Spanish language, Mexican regional format.
While both Raquel “Raq-C” Cordova and Ignacio “Nachin” Sandoval have expressed their gratitude for the opportunity afforded by their former employer, and recognize the ability of the station to change the format, the duo felt strongly about staying true to their large listening audience who truly enjoy their bilingual style of programming.
The charismatic pair became an instant hit from the moment they went on the air last year. It didn’t take long for the La Comadre Raq-C and Nachin’s afternoon 1-7pm timeslot to become number one in the ratings. Their unique style of humor, celebrity gossip and top-40 rhythmic music captured the lion’s share of Los Angeles bilingual Latinos. “That’s a huge accomplishment,” says Nachin. “We presented ourselves as we live in our daily lives and it resonated with a whole lot of people!”
Raq-C added, “The Latino 18-34 year old age group are bilingual and bicultural and this untapped demographic is devoted to our show! We have the only radio program that resonates with the echo-boomer bilingual, bicultural market.”
Rac-C and Nachin want to ensure their fans that they will find the appropriate venue to continue their unique bilingual approach to broadcasting in the near future. In the interim, they will continue to interface and connect with their fans through social media.
