Caballero Honorary Chair of Hispanic Conference

12-13-2011
Radio Ink has announced that highly respected broadcaster Eduardo Caballero will serve as honorary chairman for the upcoming Hispanic radio conference being held in San Diego. Radio Ink V.P./GM Deborah Parenti said "We are extremely honored and proud to have Mr. Caballero as honorary chair of the Hispanic Radio Conference, His vast experience in all areas of Hispanic broadcasting, advertising and public service, will help insure a compelling, focused and exciting agenda for the 2012 Hispanic Radio Conference."

About the conference, Caballero said "this is the right moment for us to come together to address the challenges, trends, issues, and particularly the opportunities in front of Hispanic radio broadcasters across the country. It offers a unique chance to unite and exchange ideas targeted to radio and digital platforms. Because of its importance, we as an industry need to embrace this effort and make it successful so it can continue. The timing could not be better. The 2010 Census added an enormous volume of compelling statistics that irrefutably support what we have known for a long time: The United States is the second-largest Spanis -speaking nation in the world, a culturally diverse cohesive force, and the strongest Hispanic economy -- formed by major Hispanic radio listeners and heavy users of all types of digital and social media."

Radio Ink Hispanic Radio Conference is being held at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay, San Diego March 21-22.

If Hispanic Christopher Columbus Discovered America--then Eduardo Caballero discovered National Business for Hispanic Radio & TV Stations in early 60's . Eduardo & his wife Rosa, Attorneys, escaped from Cuba to get to Florida. Got into radio sales--when all Hispanics were called names now not politically correct. Somehow Eduardo got into The National Sales Station Rep business. Built his own Rep firm. Found his client stations got screwed by Pulse, Hooper & Nielsen's methodology. Got laughed out of Ad Agencies.
So- Eduardo was really the first National Sales Rep in history--Gringo or Spanish-who consistently bypassed Ad Agencies to go direct to P& G--General Foods-- General Motors,etc. Eduardo not only taught them about the inherent values of Spanish formatted radio-TV stations--Eduardo actually taught them about radio.
Our Rep firm--Eastman Radio -competed against Eduardo . Finally we gave up and co brokered with Caballero Reps. If you can't beat 'em--join 'em. Eduardo is a true treasure who's never been awarded the tributes he so richly earned. --by the "General Market" broadcasters.

Robert Fuller Receives Honorary Degree From St. Josephs

Radio broadcaster and station owner Robert Fuller - also known as Doc - told the 2011 graduates, "If it wasn't for the great people around me, I wouldn't have had the success I have had." Fuller founded WBLM, one of Maine's most popular radio stations for decades. In more than 50 years in radio -- from young disc jockey to program director to multi-station ownership -- Fuller has participated in serving the public. For many years WBLM and Fuller's other Maine radio stations were instrumental in the United Way campaigns, initiating the annual kickoff campaigns in Monument Square in Portland that attracted over 10,000 people. Nationally, his radio stations have supported, promoted and been involved with more than a 1,000 public service organizations in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Iowa, Colorado, Nevada and California.
A strong believer in the power of education, Bob has been a trustee, supporter and benefactor not only of Saint Joseph's College and Landmark School, but also Kents Hill School in Readfield, Maine. For many years, Bob served on the Board of Directors of the National Radio Broadcasters Association. More recently, he has served as a director on the board of Citadel Broadcasting in New York and Las Vegas. He has won the "Broadcaster of the Year" award from the New Hampshire Broadcasters Association and was named to the Maine Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame. In 2008, he received a national award from the Broadcasters Foundation of America. In addition, he is an active supporter of the public nonprofit radio station, WYAR, in Yarmouth, Maine.

Felicidades!

It is a pleasure to read of this further recognition for "Doc." Any young person considering a career in broadcasting would be well advised to spend an hour with Doc Fuller, simply listening. What the young admirer would hear is a story of being connected to one’s community, right down to the minutest detail. Bob Fuller built his radio stations around what he heard and saw, not what he pre-supposed. He was the listener, and that is what made his stations great.

Congratulations , Bob.

GHH
