There was a big shake-up in the world of Hispanic Radio yesterday. Affiliates were caught off guard with the unexpected announcement that the popular Eddie "Piolin" Sotelo morning show was canceled without explanation from Univision. He's arguably the most popular Hispanic Radio host in the country. Affiliates were told Monday afternoon that the show was canceled and would be replaced by music as of today. Several affiliates speculated to Radio Ink this might be contract related. Univision has not responded yet to requests for comment.
Piol?n's radio show "Piol?n por la Ma?ana" ran weekday mornings on more than 50 Univision and non-Univision affiliate radio stations in the Spanish language format and online. Piol?n is also known for his activism on immigration reform, and has often discussed his own experience of immigrating to the United States on his radio program. He's scheduled to go into the National Radio Hall of Fame in November.
We'll bring you more details on this story as they become available.
