KLAT La Tremenda 1010 AM is proud to
be the flagship Spanish-language radio
broadcaster of the Houston Texans for the
fifth consecutive season. Representing 37.4
percent of Houston’s 1.9 million people, the
Hispanic community offers a huge fan base
for the Texans. Since the team’s inception, the
Texans have realized the power of Hispanic
Houston and recognized how many long-time
fans they stood to gain. It’s no wonder they
turned to Houston’s Heritage Spanish Station,
La Tremenda, to reach Hispanic fans with their
broadcast. So get your team spirit pumping,
strap on the pads and ask yourself: Are you
ready for some fútbol Americano?
La Tremenda 1010 AM is owned and operated
by Univision Communications Inc., the premier
Spanish-language media company in the
United States, which currently owns and/or
operates 68 radio stations in 17 of the top 25
U.S. Hispanic markets and four stations in
Puerto Rico. In Houston, they also broadcast
KLTN-FM (Estereo Latino 102.9 FM), KOVE-FM
(Recuerdo 106.5FM), KQBU-FM (Que Buena
93.3 FM), KRTX-AM (Tejano 980 AM) and
KPTY-FM (Party 104.9 FM).
An avid sports fan, Rolando Becerra will
continue to serve as the play-by-play voice
for the Texans on La Tremenda. Becerra is
the only Hispanic commentator to have done
play-by-play broadcasts for five major sports
teams: the Houston Astros (1986-1992), the
Houston Rockets (1988-1993), the Houston
Oilers (1995-1997), the Houston Aeros (1999-
2000) and the Texans (2002-05).
Becerra, originally from Cuba, began his radio
career in Miami in 1973. He’s been a Houston
resident and radio constant for more than 30
years. You can also catch him on KLAT-AM as
host of “Hoy Con Rolando Becerra,” which airs
Monday through Friday from 6-9 a.m. Becerra
has been married to his wife, Jenny, for 38
years and they are parents to four children:
Barbra, Jason, Jaron and Megan.
Enrique Vasquez returns to handle color
commentary duties for Texans broadcasts
on La Tremenda. Vasquez came back to the
Houston football scene after a two-year
run doing color commentary for the Dallas
Cowboys, where he also did play-by-play
in the late 1990s. He has also done sports
broadcasting for Fox Sports, covering
everything from basketball to the Olympics
to Super Bowls. Some Texans fans and La
Tremenda listeners may remember Vasquez
as one of the Spanish broadcast voices for
the Houston Oilers from 1992 to 1995. Vasquez
also writes a popular weekly column for the
Spanish section of HoustonTexans.com.
