KLAT La Tremenda 1010 AM is proud to<br />
be the flagship Spanish-language radio<br />
broadcaster of the <strong>Houston</strong> <strong>Texans</strong> for the<br />
fifth consecutive season. Representing 37.4<br />
percent of <strong>Houston</strong>’s 1.9 million people, the<br />
Hispanic community offers a huge fan base<br />
for the <strong>Texans</strong>. Since the team’s inception, the<br />
<strong>Texans</strong> have realized the power of Hispanic<br />
<strong>Houston</strong> and recognized how many long-time<br />
fans they stood to gain. It’s no wonder they<br />
turned to <strong>Houston</strong>’s Heritage Spanish Station,<br />
La Tremenda, to reach Hispanic fans with their<br />
broadcast. So get your team spirit pumping,<br />
strap on the pads and ask yourself: Are you<br />
ready for some fútbol Americano<br />
La Tremenda 1010 AM is owned and operated<br />
by Univision Communications Inc., the premier<br />
Spanish-language media company in the<br />
United States, which currently owns and/<br />
or operates 68 radio stations in 17 of the top<br />
25 U.S. Hispanic markets and four stations in<br />
Puerto Rico. In <strong>Houston</strong>, they also broadcast<br />
KLTN-FM (Estereo Latino 102.9 FM), KOVE-FM<br />
(Recuerdo 106.5FM), KQBU-FM (Que Buena<br />
93.3 FM), KRTX-AM (Tejano 980 AM) and<br />
KPTY-FM (Party 104.9 FM).<br />
An avid sports fan, Rolando Becerra will<br />
continue to serve as the play-by-play voice<br />
for the <strong>Texans</strong> on La Tremenda. Becerra is<br />
the only Hispanic commentator to have done<br />
play-by-play broadcasts for five major sports<br />
teams: the <strong>Houston</strong> Astros (1986-1992), the<br />
<strong>Houston</strong> Rockets (1988-1993), the <strong>Houston</strong><br />
Oilers (1995-1997), the <strong>Houston</strong> Aeros (1999-<br />
2000) and the <strong>Texans</strong> (2002-07).<br />
Becerra, originally from Cuba, began his radio<br />
career in Miami in 1973. He’s been a <strong>Houston</strong><br />
resident and radio constant for more than 30<br />
years. You can also catch him on KLAT-AM as<br />
host of “Hoy Con Rolando Becerra,” which airs<br />
Monday through Friday from 6-9 a.m. Becerra<br />
has been married to his wife, Jenny, for 38<br />
years and they are parents to four children:<br />
Barbra, Jason, Jaron and Megan.<br />
Enrique Vasquez returns to handle color<br />
commentary duties for <strong>Texans</strong> broadcasts<br />
on La Tremenda. Vasquez came back to the<br />
<strong>Houston</strong> football scene after a two-year<br />
run doing color commentary for the Dallas<br />
Cowboys, where he also did play-by-play<br />
in the late 1990s. He has also done sports<br />
broadcasting for Fox Sports, covering<br />
everything from basketball to the Olympics<br />
to Super Bowls. Some <strong>Texans</strong> fans and La<br />
Tremenda listeners may remember Vasquez<br />
as one of the Spanish broadcast voices for<br />
the <strong>Houston</strong> Oilers from 1992 to 1995. Vasquez<br />
also writes a popular weekly column for the<br />
Spanish section of <strong>Houston</strong><strong>Texans</strong>.com.<br />
