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 />
